Testimonials

Dear Sirs,

EPPM is a Swiss engineering firm specializing in power generation and power plant management.

More than two years ago, we recognized an opportunity existed in Italy, and throughout the European Union, to transform everyday waste into electricity. In particular, Italy is dependent on others for their electricity, having few natural resources of their own to be used in generating power. The government, too, recognized this and instituted a program to encourage companies to find 'green' (non-fossil) energy sources.

EPPM searched for a partner for this enterprise, and happily, encountered SENREQ. Almost from the start, it was apparent that considerable synergy existed between the two firms. SENREQ had the technology we were looking for to incorporate into our envisioned solution for this very significant opportunity. We had the market domain and sales opportunities. The chemistry between SENREQ's management team and ours was apparent from our first visit. Our technical staffs meshed well together also.

We look forward to a very long and mutually profitable partnership.

Best regards

Sergio Passot
General Manager

Re: SENREQ Waste Gasification Process

CRE Group Ltd is an independent energy and environmental consultancy business operating in the UK and Western Europe. Formerly the Coal Research Establishment of the British Coal Corporation, the company has more than fifty years of experience in the development of process technology to improve energy efficiency and to reduce the environmental impact of energy utilization. Historically this work focused on the use of coal. However, with recent changes in the pattern of fuel use, and the increased interest in renewable sources of energy, attention within the company has moved towards the use of alternative fuels such as biomass and waste.

Waste disposal in the UK faces increasing problems due to more stringent regulations, increasing pressure on the availability of space for landfill, as well as the public intolerance for mass burn incineration. In recent years, CRE has taken a close interest in possible alternatives to the conventional disposal routes for waste and recognized the potential benefits that small-scale, community-based waste management schemes offer both to industry and, in particular, the local population.

Small-scale waste gasification process technology appears to offer significant benefits to the waste disposal sector both in terms of lower capital costs and, equally importantly, environmental performance. The SENREQ waste gasification process technology was developed in the US by Michael Pope of the USA. The process has undergone an extensive program of development and refinement such that it is now being promoted extensively in the US, Europe and elsewhere in the world. As part of the development program, SENREQ LLC worked closely with the Western Institute in Wyoming, an organization with a similar background to that of CRE through its association with the coalmining industry in the US.

CRE has undertaken a detailed review of process information relating to the operation of the SENREQ technology on a wide range of waste streams. Using test methods identical to many of those used by CRE, the Western Institute, and SENREQ themselves, have demonstrated that the operation of the SENREQ Waste Gasification Process can achieve the levels of efficiency and environmental performance required to comply with the most stringent environmental regulations. Of particular relevance to the UK situation is the ability of the SENREQ system to meet the emission standards of the EC Waste Incineration Directive. The SENREQ process also offers benefits in terms of solid residues that are relatively undamaged by the thermal processing, and of a quality that renders them suitable for recycling without further treatment.

CRE Group Ltd recognizes the potential benefits of the SENREQ Process technology and has entered into an agreement with Mr. Pope in the UK, to provide technical support to the company. CRE will provide assistance on a range of environmental issues that must be addressed by potential operators of the SENREQ process equipment. This will entail provision of advice on legislative matters and environmental licensing required under UK and EC Legislation. CRE will also provide advice and assistance to potential operators on the monitoring of pollutant emissions to demonstrate compliance with statutory limits.

Any queries relating to CRE’s involvement in the promotion of SENREQ technology in the UK and Western Europe should be referred to Mr. Geoff Fynes at the address above.
