At RED, we understand the importance of sustainable energy sources for our planet’s future. That’s why we produce bioenergy, a renewable energy source made from organic materials. But how exactly does the process of bioenergy work? Let’s take a closer look.
01
Feedstock Collection
The first step in producing bioenergy is collecting organic materials, also known as feedstock. These include agricultural residues, municipal solid waste and even forestry waste. We have developed an inclusive feedstock collection system while adhering to highest ESG standards.
02
Preparation
The feedstock must be prepared before it can be used in the bioenergy production process. This includes shredding / Pulping, and separating any impurities or contaminants and converting it into a pure organic stream.
03
Conversion
The prepared feedstock is then converted into bioenergy through a variety of processes, including:
Anaerobic digestion: Organic materials are broken down by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen, producing biogas.
Fermentation: Organic materials is converted into starch which is then converted into Bioethanol using fermentation method.
Gasification: Organic materials are heated in the presence of oxygen and steam to produce a gas, which is then used to generate electricity.
04
Energy Production
The bioenergy produced from the conversion process can be used in a variety of ways, including:
BioCNG: Our Bioenergy projects can be used to generate BioCNG for homes and businesses and as transportation fuel.
Bioethanol: Our Bioenergy projects can be used to generate Bioethanol which can be used for blending in the petrol.
Green Hydrogen: Our Bioenergy projects can be used to generate Green Hydrogen.
05
By-products
Any leftover materials from the conversion process can be used as fertilizer or returned to the land as soil conditioner, closing the loop in the process.
