WaQood
Rise Future Energy introduces WaQood. A breakthrough clean-burning fuel made from repurposed polystyrene (EPS) waste.
WaQood turns what was once considered waste into a high-performance, sustainable energy source for industries, humanitarian aid, and beyond.
Imagine transforming a challenging polystyrene (EPS) waste material into something completely new. An innovative, versatile, biofuel product that not only helps address the growing concerns about plastic waste but also creates opportunities for efficient energy use.
How We Transform Waste Into Energy
Using a 100% natural solvent and a carbon-neutral process, we transform discarded EPS into a clean-burning (gel-like) semi-solid fuel that is safe to handle, easy to store and burns efficiently—without releasing toxic smoke or harmful residue.
This sustainable innovation delivers tangible advantages for both the environment and energy users:
HOW WE DO IT
Advantages:
- Support sustainability and ESG goals.
- Circular Economy Contribution: Our process promotes a circular economy by giving EPS waste a new purpose, rather than simply discarding it.
- Waste Reduction: We are directly addressing the problem of Polystyrene waste, which is notoriously difficult to recycle through traditional methods. This significantly reduces the volume of EPS waste going to landfills.
- Landfill Diversion: By converting EPS waste into fuel product, we are diverting it from landfills, which helps conserve valuable landfill space and reduces the long-term environmental risks associated with buried plastic.
- Reduction of Carbon Emissions: By creating a fuel source from waste, this can reduce the need to create fuels from raw fossil fuel sources.
Applications:
1. Incinerators (Waste-to-Energy Plants)
Applications:
- Supplementing or replacing traditional fuels in waste-to-energy plants.
- Optimizing incinerator performance for consistent energy generation.
- Improving the overall efficiency and sustainability of waste management systems.
User Advantages:
- Higher Calorific Value: EPS-derived fuel “WaQood” can boost the energy output of incinerators due to its high energy content (3x the calorific value of wood). This can improve efficiency and reduce the need for supplemental fuels.
- Fuel Efficiency: Less fuel is required to achieve the same energy output, leading to reduced fuel consumption and potential cost savings.
- Optimization of Existing Facilities: Incinerators can operate more efficiently and potentially handle a greater volume of waste by supplementing or replacing lower-calorific-value fuels with our product WaQood.
- Reduced need for fossil fuel supplementation: This high calorific value can greatly reduce the need to supplement the waste stream of incinerators with fossil fuels like natural gas.
2. Industrial (Manufacturing, Processing)
Applications:
- Fueling high-temperature furnaces and boilers in metal recycling (e.g., melting tin cans), glass manufacturing, and other energy-intensive processes.
User Advantages:
- ESG Enhancement & Circular Economy: Using WaQood (a fuel derived from waste EPS) demonstrates a strong commitment to circular economy principles while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This helps companies to lower their carbon footprint yet, strengthens their’ sustainability credentials positively impacting ESG rating.
- Optimized High-Temperature Processes: WaQood offers an exceptionally high calorific value — three times that of wood — delivering a powerful energy boost. This makes it an ideal fuel source for furnaces and boilers in energy-intensive processes such as metal melting, glass production, and other applications that demand consistent, high-intensity heat.
3. Camping & BBQ:
Applications:
- Fuel for portable camping stoves and heaters.
- Emergency backup fuel for hikers and outdoor explorers.
- Reliable heat source for off-grid adventures.
User Advantages:
- Lightweight & Portable: Waqood fuel is easy to transport, making it ideal for camping and outdoor activities.
- Efficient & High Energy Output: Provides a powerful heat source for cooking, boiling water, and heating, even in remote locations.
- Eco-Friendly Alternative: A sustainable fuel option that minimizes reliance on traditional fossil fuels and reduces environmental impact.
4. Military:
Applications:
- Fueling field stoves and heaters.
- Powering solid fuel generators in remote locations.
User Advantages:
- Logistics Simplification: Reduces the need to transport large quantities of traditional fuels.
- Tactical Advantage: Provides a decentralized fuel source that is less vulnerable to disruption.
- Reduced reliance on fossil fuel.
5. Humanitarian Aid:
Applications:
- Cooking and heating in refugee camps or disaster relief zones.
User Advantages:
- Emergency Fuel Source: Provides a readily available fuel source in disaster-stricken areas where traditional fuel supplies may be disrupted.
- Portable Energy: Can be used in portable stoves or generators for cooking and heating.
