Empowering a Greener Future

Today, Les EDGE is providing environmentally responsible solutions to waste treatment that will yield renewable energy and eliminate the need for landfills. As environmentalists, we are committed to offering a holistic perspective to better accommodate regional diversity and promote well being. Partnered with communities, local authorities, and national governments, our goal is to find solutions for the challenges related to the handling and processing of waste and the production of useable energy.

Sharing in key international partnerships, we are also well equipped to provide analysis, project development and financing of energy from waste solutions, effectively transforming a community’s waste into useable energy and agricultural infrastructure is part of our vision to meet the needs of quickly developing global infrastructures.

An Overview of Our Process

The efficiency of our process allows us to divert 100% of normal household waste away from landfills. This is accomplished through the use of a number of proven technologies, including the two-stage thermal decomposition by EnEco Systems. We are also looking to the poly-generation solutions for green and organic waste by Boson Energy.

By initially reducing the volume of waste by over 90% and then removing any glass or ferrous materials in their original form for recycling, our process eliminates the need for landfill completely. The remaining 4-7% ash is nearly carbon free and can be used in construction, concrete or road building.

Using the gases that are released as a renewable energy source to produce electricity, heat energy, drinking water, and aquaponics among others, a 100 ton per day plant can gasify the waste to produce a daily net amount of about 144 MW of electricity and 936 Gjoules of heat energy available for sale. As well, the surplus heat, carbon dioxide and nitrogen may be extracted to fuel an aquaponics installation to grow both fish and vegetables. The fish feed off the algae in the water and then in turn help fertilize the water for the vegetables. The remaining water is fed through thin layers of cellophane and exposed to sunlight, thus producing algae which will be harvested and used for making bio-diesel.

Therefore, by taking waste and harvesting its available energy five times, there is potential to maximize the energy value of garbage. Notably, our process also eliminates the need for the massive transportation of waste, as it can be handled locally or regionally as needed.
