Paul, I appreciate your positive reply and will indeed look at the News section of your website.
I would also like to carry on the conversation and will pass on my details through your website.

However, always the opportunist, and while this subject is worthy of continued discussion, I would add the following in response:

🌱 Rethinking Waste: Why AGS Energy’s Small-Scale Solution is Essential for the UK ♻️

I fully agree with your comment and watch with interest the conversations around Energy from Waste (EfW) in the UK which I agree, has become increasingly negative. The UK public perception and concerns over emissions, incineration dependency, and environmental impacts are all dominating a lot of air time and digital space with the UK's media.
While large-scale EfW facilities face scrutiny, it is critical to recognise that not all waste-to-energy solutions are created equal.
This is where AGS Energy’s 'patented', small-to-medium-scale, simplified, gasification treatment technology offers a game-changing alternative that the UK urgently needs to consider adopting.

Why is AGS Energy Different you may ask?

Unlike traditional incinerators, which burn waste at high temperatures and produce significant emissions along with fly ash and bottom ash, AGS Energy utilises an advanced simplified gasification process that is:

✅ Decentralised, Small to Medium Scale & Modular – AGS solutions are designed for local deployment, eliminating the need for costly waste transport and reducing carbon footprints.
✅ Low-Emission & High-Efficiency – By converting waste into syngas in the absence of oxygen, our systems produce cleaner energy with minimal emissions compared to larger EfW plants, while producing a usable fine flinty ash or Biochar.
✅ Supports Circular Economy – AGS recovers valuable resources directly at the source of the waste arising, transforming organic waste into usable energy, rather than relying on landfills or inefficient mass incineration.
✅ Industry-Specific Applications – AGS Energy technology is ideal for distilleries, poultry and/or cattle farms, wastewater treatment plants, agriculture, and healthcare sectors, turning industry-specific waste challenges into energy solutions.

The UK’s Current Waste Problem:
🚨 Over 27 million tonnes of waste are generated annually in the UK, yet reliance on outdated landfill, (as mentioned in your excellent post) and large-scale incineration models fail to fully recover energy and resources and adversely the latter produces both fly and bottom ash that still need to be addressed as a waste by product of the process.
🚨 Landfill capacity is shrinking and costs are rising, creating an urgent need for scalable, localised solutions that can reduce waste at the source, “taking the solution to the problem”.
🚨 Current EfW plants often face public resistance due to their scale, emissions, and location conflicts—AGS Energy avoids these issues with site-specific, tailored deployment.

The Future of Waste Treatment Must Be Smarter, Not Bigger:
The UK must move beyond outdated EfW models and embrace decentralised, sustainable, and adaptable waste recovery solutions. AGS Energy offers exactly that. It’s time to reshape the EfW narrative and support innovations that prioritise efficiency, emissions reduction, and energy security.

Great article Paul, well constructed and informative. Leachate is also another product of landfills that needs long term monitoring and treatment.
We at AGS Energy Ltd have continually improved, modified and upgraded our small to medium scale EfW gasification waste treatment system.
We have simplified the process to such a degree we now have a patent on our modular plant offerings.
AGS Energy technology is designed to operate on a clients industrial site, farm, remote location, refugee camp or even a hospital, treating the organic waste at source and providing clean, green emissions with renewable energy provision, such as hot water, steam, chilled air or electricity - "AGS Energy, Taking the Solution to the Problem". Depending on the input feedstock, the output is either Biochar or a very fine 'flinty ash'. Both outputs have commercial value.
AGS Energy uses state of the art BAT filtration and particle capture technology that meets and exceeds the emission limits of the IED 2010/75/EU
