Aquafuel Named as Renewable Energy Innovator 2010
- Aquafuel named Renewable Energy Innovator 2010 by the Renewable Energy Association (REA)
- Recognised for its ground-breaking CHP technology, which enables renewable by-products like glycerine, tallow and used cooking oil to power existing diesel generators.
- Points to a future where algae produce millions of tons of renewable glycerine, used to power regular generators that used to run on diesel.

About Aquafuel Research
Why do energy-intensive industries buy-in expensive power and heat and yet dispose of renewable by-products with fuel potential at commodity prices? Aquafuel Research was formed to develop new technologies and techniques to help companies to reduce their energy costs, unlock new revenues and to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. Aquafuel is a venture-backed UK company with a set of patented technologies for renewable combined heat and power (CHP). It has a number of commercial CHP projects in development, the first of which started running in 2009. Investors include EEA, an environmental investment firm with over $1.7bn under management.
Renewable CHP
Biodiesel production, rendering and meat processing, food processing, paper manufacture and bioethanol production. What do all these industrial processes have in common? They are all energy intensive. Yet they all produce renewable biomass byproducts. Aquafuel enables this biomass to fuel standard diesel CHP generation equipment. The result is massive cost savings through greater heat and power self-sufficiency, and a new revenue stream from renewable electricity sales. [more]
Landfill and Biogas
Landfill gas electricity is renewable, unlike coal or natural gas, and prevents emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. But landfill gas, like sewage and bio gas, contains corrosive hydrogen sulphide, which shortens the life of the lubricating oil in the engines used for generation. Aquafuel technology doubles the life of the lube oil, resulting in lower downtime, plus substantial reductions in operational costs and lube oil consumption. [more]
