LTC (Low-Temperature Conversion) & ACA (Advanced Carbon Absorption) are revolutionary technologies patented by AGT (Agency for Green Technologies).
LOW-TEMPERATURE CONVERSION
ADVANTAGES OF THE LTC PROCESS:
HIGH EFFICIENCY AND HIGH OUTPUT
up to 4 megawatts of electricity per tonne of waste, depending on the type of waste/material and its calorific value.
VARIOUS OUTPUTS POSSIBLE
Electricity, heat, green hydrogen, carbon & activated carbon, synthetic fuels and even kerosene.
MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
The plant size starts at one tonne of input/h and can be expanded as desired. Even smaller mobile plants are being planned to make it possible to decentralise and immediately recycle waste at the location where it is produced.
WHAT IS LTC?
The LTC technology (Low-Temperature Conversion) is a patented thermo-catalytic extraction process in a closed system – without any external air supply, i.e. no combustion.
Gentle heating to a conversion temperature below 700 °C (incinerators are 800-1200 °C) can produce a modified synthetic-rich gas (quality equivalent to natural gas) with a consistently high calorific value.
This rich gas can immediately be converted into electrical energy in turbine-generator stations or used further in ACA plants for further conversion into unique and valuable fuels and materials.
No toxic exhaust gases, such as dioxins, furans, etc., are produced.
Inorganic materials such as metals are not overheated – they pass through the system without producing pollutants.
INPUT MATERIAL
A significant advantage is the broad applicability of the LTC process with a wide variety of regionally available input materials that mostly end up in landfills. Dirty and dangerous disposal is becoming a thing of the past.
APPLICATION
- Landfills and dumps
- Waste sorting and recycling plants
- Industrial enterprises
- Medical institutions
- The housing and communal sector
- Retail and wholesale trade enterprises
- Agricultural enterprises
- In other private, municipal or state institutions
ADVANCED CARBON ABSORPTION
WHAT IS ACA?
EXCURSION LTC – LOW-TEMPERATURE CONVERSION
No CO₂ is produced during the process, as carbon is bound in the gas and subsequently broken down rather than burned. A significant advantage is the broad applicability of the LTC process to a wide variety of regionally available input materials.
INNOVATION AND UNIQUE SELLING PROPOSITION
ACA TECHNOLOGY
In a long-term research cooperation with the elite University of St. Andrews, developing the world’s first environmentally friendly and economically feasible process for producing high-quality carbon products has been possible.
Following LTC technology, this also is a thermo-catalytic process for cracking methane and CO₂.
Standard production methods for manufacturing carbon nanotubes or graphene require incredibly high temperatures; therefore, a lot of energy is needed and can be processed mainly using fossil raw materials such as coal, natural gas or graphite. This leads to extremely high production costs in some cases, making widespread use of these high-tech materials impossible. Furthermore, the environment is additionally burdened due to high energy and material inputs.
CONVERTING WASTE INTO VALUABLE MATERIALS THROUGH UNIQUELY SUSTAINABLE & ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROCESS
The world’s first and only environmentally friendly manufacturing process of various carbon materials, deriving from any form of waste, such as household, commercial, industrial, sewage sludge, wood & other bio waste, or any CO₂ emissions. In this way, raw material resources are conserved while creating a genuinely sustainable & environmentally friendly circular economy for a cleaner and better future.
COMBINATION OF ACA AND LTC TECHNOLOGIES
ACA technology can be used in conjunction with LTC technology (in which the synthesis gas is split) or separately by using existing CO₂ or methane from another source (thus, coexistence with existing industrial plants is also possible).
Due to the significantly lower processing temperatures, much less energy is required during manufacturing, which lowers the overall cost and, at the same time, protects and preserves the environment.
ENERGY-FULLY SUFFICIENT CIRCLE & COST-EFFECTIVE PRODUCTION
If both technologies are combined, the self-generated energy can be used for the operating process, thus having independence from external power inputs, creating the most cost-effective production process. The “input/output ratio” is a unique advantage for one of the best ROI”s.
GREEN HYDROGEN
When methane is cracked, an additional “byproduct” is green hydrogen.
A greatly needed energy source for the truly required renewable energy transition for our much anticipated better and cleaner future economy.
