Turning Environmental Challenges into clean energy Solutions!
Energy Dynamics Corporation International (EDCI) is a USA corporation that globally promotes the deployment of technological solutions for the efficient, pollution-free production and use of energy. EDCI collaborates with key strategic partners to develop, install and operate EDCI Clean Energy Solutions that integrate key cutting-edge technologies. These technologies, and the strength of our strategic partnerships, allow EDCI to serve as a one-stop-shop for those who need to turn waste and other environmental challenges into energy solutions.
EDCI Clean Energy Solutions convert various forms of waste, and other organic materials, into green energy, either in the form of synthesis gas, liquid fuels and/or electricity. With an emphasis on environmental protection, benefit to local communities, worker safety, and quality services, EDCI has globally positioned itself as a premier source of customizable, environmentally-friendly, and profitable clean energy solutions that create local jobs and promote healthier environments while solving a variety of waste and energy challenges.
EDCI Clean Energy Solutions are based upon modular engineering design concepts with built-in redundancy of key modules, and common maintenance and replacement parts which limit down-time and maintain nearly 100% energy production capacity. Key technologies comprising EDCI Clean Energy Solutions involve:
- pre-processing of variable waste or other organic feedstock (e.g. coal, municipal solid waste, agricultural and animal waste, sewage sludge, used tires, waste plastics, medical waste, etc.);
- gasification of single or multiple streams of organic feedstock resulting in the production of synthesis gas (CO and H2) and inert residue;
- processing the synthesis gas into either liquid fuels (through a series of catalytic reactions) or into electricity (through combustion in a turbine or engine); and
- processing the inert residue from the gasification process into usable products (e.g. fertilizer, concrete & building materials, etc.)
EDCIs key strengths include a broad base of expertise and experience through EDCIs Management Team in the crucial areas of engineering, business development and management, marketing and sales, and resource and project management; as well as the establishment and maintenance of a solid network of key strategic partners to develop, install and operate EDCI Clean Energy Solutions. The strategic partners within our business network actively protect each others interests and allow for the deployment of integrated clean energy solutions not available through any other single company or system integrator.
The global market for the clean and renewable energy industry is expansive and provides limitless opportunities for the collaborative development of clean energy projects in nearly every country in both the public and private sectors. Steady increases in the cost of carbon-based fuels and electricity worldwide, and growing concerns about environmental sustainability and global warming provide a compelling rationale and sound fiscal incentives for the establishment of EDCI Clean Energy Solutions. EDCI endeavors to establish separate legal entities for each clean energy project in collaboration with key partners for the long-term ownership, operation and success of each individual project.

Green energy from waste 2010
The Elementa Process (EP) converts carbon based matter into a synthetic gas (syngas) with properties and utility values similar to that of natural gas. The syngas and resultant heat can be used to power turbines, engines or fuel cells for the generation of electricity, distilled into ethanol or hydrogen, or used as process heat and gas (a natural gas replacement).

Waste to Energy — An Overview
See http://peswiki.com/index.php/Video:Waste_to_Energy_–_An_Overview
The saying, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” is coming true in the waste-to-energy field. With some landfills overflowing, much real estate at a premium, groundwater and air pollution concerns, and fossil fuel scarcity concerns; methods of turning refuse into fuel or electricity are attractive for many reasons.
Who would have ever thought that junk and sewage could be cost-effectively turned into a valuable commodity? It turns out that there are several approaches being developed — and even some already in commercial operation — that, with tipping fees, can turn a profit from turning garbage and sewage into electricity and fuel.
According to their Vice President, Lynn Brown, Waste Management, the company the comes around to haul off garbage, is increasingly turning some of that garbage into energy — enough to power over one million homes — the equivalent of 14 million barrels of oil per year or 3.6 million tons of coal. And the company has a goal to double that amount to 2 million homes by 2020. (http://www.wm.com/thinkgreen)
Some landfills now capture the methane that comes out of the buried trash, which used to escape into the atmosphere as a potent greenhouse gas. Instead, they now burn this methane to run generators. Solar Hydrogen Energy Corporation (SHEC Labs) has developed a process that uses solar energy to convert this methane into hydrogen, and expect that within 5 years they will compete with the cheapest sources of Hydrogen. ( http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Solar_Hydrogen_Energy_Corporation_(SHEC)_Labs )
One approach being pursued by several companies is to turn the incoming waste into plasma through a high intensity electrical arc. In the plasma state, the inflow is broken down to its elemental components — individual atoms. What comes out is a burnable gas and an inert solid that can be used for things like pavement, bricks, and other building materials. Starting out, they are targeting medical waste because of its high tipping fees. ( http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Plasma)
Green Power Inc has developed a method of inexpensively converting biomass and municipal waste into high quality diesel fuel, solving the world’s energy and waste problems at the same time, without upsetting the CO2 balance.
We consider waste for energy technologies to fit the “free energy” mold. Waste is an inexhaustible or renewable energy source that will be around as long as there are humans. All trash can be recycled into something useful. Within a generation, we may begin to see home-based devices that turn your personal garbage into energy, right in the comfort of your home. It’s Back to the Future in its infant stages.
