This session discussed about an innovation for Waste to Energy: How Waste can be turned into an Energy Resource without air pollution and landfill needs as well as manage energy/waste/climate goals all at once.

The volume of waste not only in Korea but also around the world is exploding. Low-Temperature Gasification Technology Innovation, one of the first of its kind in the world, realized by the Miracle Cube of the Hanki Industry in South Korea, can recover energy from diverse sources of waste with maximum efficiency and minimum impact on air and landfill.  Finally, a technical breakthrough is made available to turn waste into energy resources to complete the circular economy loop. Unlike the other conventional pyrolysis systems, Miracle Cube can dispose of waste by the 50-ton reactor that operates in a synchronized batch process of 3 to 4 reactors all at once. 

Hanki Industrial Co. is providing a solution for the waste problem by successfully gasifying waste into synthetic gas at low temperatures producing 20% more energy and 50% less operating cost compared to conventional incinerators with minimum impact on air quality and leaving only bottom ash that could be recycled as ingredients for construction materials. The 50-ton reactor has the largest capacity for the pyrolysis process and carries a 15-year guarantee. The operation of the whole system is fully automated and monitored by the centralized control room.
