Eco-Fuel
Combining Renewable Energy with Circular Economy
Renewable energy From a Circular Economy with Eco-Fuel
Our Technology
Legacy refuse waste or a landfill over 8 years is an ideal source for the development of our Eco-Fuel solution.
Old rubbish sites can be remediated by removing the existing below ground rubbish/ waste from the site and putting it through our process to produce Eco-Fuel.
Recycled materials and other industrial by-products can be made into Eco-Concrete or used in other sustainable solutions.
Our Targets
By excavating (mining) existing landfill sites we hope to focus the world's attention on the significant role of Eco-Fuel production will have in the waste to energy and circular economy sectors. We believe in our capability to assist private industry, government authorities, councils and landowners alike in meeting their environmental and sustainability goals. Unlike other waste management companies, Continuum Energy brings a new concept and reimagines the Waste Management and Energy business sectors as one. We not only manage the handling of the daily fresh general and municipal waste but also take care of the below ground, old waste on existing landfill sites.
Eco-Fuel:
The new Global Benchmark for turning Waste into Energy
Our Circular Economy; Using Waste as Renewable Energy
Eco-Fuel has become feasible due to Continuum’s specialised process which can turn waste materials, including those from in-situ landfill, into Eco-Fuel that can provide base load renewable power. Continuum Energy has the process know-how and technology, plant specification, engineering design and management knowledge to assist in the remediation of legacy landfill sites and/or diversion of household and municipal solid wastes (MSWs) for the production of Eco-Fuel.
How does eco-Fuel Compare?
Comparing Eco-Fuel To Other Forms Of Power Generation
WHAT ARE THE ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF USING ECO-FUEL?
Eco-Fuel is valuable for business or governments that wish to remove legacy landfill and utilise the area for other purposes.
The variety of materials able to be processed and used means that Eco-Fuel offers huge environmental benefits, resulting in reduced fossil fuel usage in coal-fired power plants, cement kilns, and pulp manufacturing plants (just to name a few). Conventional waste disposal can have serious environmental impacts including water pollution, methane and other GHG emissions and soil degradation (etc.). The production of Eco-Fuel will reduce the total landfill capacity and its overall land usage and environmental footprint.
• Materials sent to landfill such as non-recyclable plastics, food organics and wood materials (just to name a few) which would usually sit in landfill sites for periods spanning months, years, decades or hundreds of years before ever degrading, can instead be used in a helpful way to generate renewable heat and power by being repurposed into an Eco-Fuel feedstock. This in turn helps to reduce waste and pollution whilst preserving natural resources and recycling waste materials into a repurposed Eco-Fuel product to provide a clean, efficient and cost-effective energy source for commercial off-takers.
• Eco-Fuel helps to divert waste away from landfill and is a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuels; being used either as a fossil fuel partial substitute or complete replacement.
• In processing Eco-Fuel, incineration of landfill or municipal solid waste is not required. The landfill greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) which would exist if landfill waste persisted is displaced, leading to minimal comparative embodied greenhouse gasses from the Eco-Fuel process and mitigate the effects of climate change.
• Eco-Fuel is a baseload renewable energy solution which allows for the storing and transportation of the fuel to be used without the issues of intermittency or power grid instability like many other renewable energy alternatives.
• With a designable calorific value, Eco-Fuel requires less mass than coal per kilowatt for power, resulting in a lower emissions output overall by the end user. Alternatively, a customer-specific lower calorific value can be designed to increase more Eco-Fuel throughput and get rid of more waste material.
• Using Eco-Fuel can help reduce the dependence on fossil fuels, which can help to mitigate the effects of air pollution, fossil fuel by-products and climate change.
• Emissions from Eco-Fuel in power systems can be mitigated with state-of-the-art air treatment technology to ensure minimal pollutants and adherence to environmental guidelines.
Help Continuum Energy Transform Our Landfills
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
In processing ECO-FUEL, waste incineration is not required and the landfill gas emissions which would exist if landfill waste persisted is displaced; leading to minimal embodied greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) in the ECO-FUEL production process. With a designable calorific value determined by customer specifications, power companies that purchase our product require less ECO-FUEL than coal per kilowatt-hour to produce their products, resulting in a lower emissions output overall by the end user and the transition of a non-renewable power station to a renewable power station.
THE BENEFITS:
Eco-Fuel is also valuable for entities that wish to remove legacy landfill and utilise the area for other purposes. The variety of materials able to be processed and used means that Eco-Fuel offers huge environmental benefits, resulting in reduced fossil fuel usage in coal-fired power plants, cement kilns, and pulp manufacturing plants (just to name a few).
Conventional waste disposal can have serious environmental impacts including water pollution, methane and other GHG emissions and soil degradation (etc.). The production of Eco-Fuel will reduce the total landfill capacity and its overall land usage and environmental footprint. Eco-Fuel can be produced and supplied at a design calorific value specified by the customer in coarse or fine shredded form, and compacted or baled for transport, depending on the end user’s requirement and location.
Overall, Eco-Fuel by Continuum Energy is a sustainable
solution that helps reduce waste and pollution, and provides a clean, efficient
and cost-effective energy source.
It can be used for wide variety of applications and helps to
create sustainable jobs and stimulate economic growth in communities where it
is produced. It enables companies and individuals to meet their sustainability
goals and reduce their carbon footprint.

Build A Sustainable Future With Eco-Concrete
The Revolutionary Product In Sustainable Construction
- Regular concrete is the world’s most manufactured product in the world;
- >$4.4B/year market in Australia;
- >$130B/year Market in South-east Asia
- Regular Concrete is usually made up of the following ingredients which are mostly unsustainably sourced and virgin materials (I.e. not waste materials):
- Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) / “Grey Cement”, sometimes (but rarely) made with a very small proportion of industrial waste.
- Water
- Fine Aggregates / Sand
- Coarse Aggregates / Gravel
- Regular Concrete is responsible for ~8% of the world’s GHGs and is arguably the most unsustainable and polluting industries on the planet.
- If this industry was a country it’d be the 3rd largest GHG polluter after China and the US respectively. It’s more than all car exhaust emissions from China, the United States and Europe combined.
- Eco-Concrete instead can be made at room temperature (i.e. no high electricity requirement for heating) and from waste materials (i.e. no costly mining processes) which enables an average 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per tonne of product compared to normal concrete.
