Alternate Fuel Resource Facility

Alternate Fuel

Alternative fuel, known as non-conventional and advanced fuels, are any materials or substances that can be used as fuels, other than conventional fuels like; fossil fuels (petroleum (oil), coal, and natural gas), as well as nuclear materials such as uranium and thorium, as well as artificial radioisotope fuels that are made in nuclear reactors.

Some well-known alternative fuels include bio-diesel, bio-alcohol (methanol, ethanol, butane), refuse-derived fuel, chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells), hydrogen, non-fossil methane, non-fossil natural gas, vegetable oil, propane and other biomass sources.

Benefits of Co-processing

Produces overall environmental benefits by reducing releases to air, water and land.
Avoid Land Disposal and Investment on developing Landfills.
No waste is generated that requires subsequent processing.
Maximizes the recovery of energy while ensuring their safe disposal.

RSPL 4R POLICY

Refuse

We can choose to refuse to buy items that contain single-use plastics or items that are individually packaged. Single-use plastic bags are a big problem and one of the reasons why our oceans are suffering. Commonly, these plastics cannot be recycled easily. They are therefore a problem for the environment.

Reduce

Our consumption of energy also has a knock-on environmental impact. Have a read-up on how you can save electricity at home and school. You’ll not only be helping to reduce demand for non-renewable energy you’ll also save money.

When buying for other people think too about waste. Consider giving plastic-free. And as we approach the season of cheer there’s no better time than to think about a zero waste Christmas.

Reuse

One of the biggest ways of reusing items is through upcycling. People are now becoming more and more creative and so, it is now possible to take tired, worn items and upcycle them into beautiful pieces that can be reused. It is this kind of clever thinking that can make a difference.

Recycle

We realize the huge problem plastic waste cause for the environment but when the majority becomes recycled, we can reuse it in other ways. Bottle tops can become car batteries and reusable plastic bags while plastic containers can be turned into toys. The possibilities are almost endless and recycling technology is constantly improving and that is a real positive in our quest to reduce waste.
