Modern society has an insatiable appetite for energy and
resources, which cannot be satisfied long term without the
establishment of alternative energy sources and technologies. The
traditional sources of energy not only deplete the planets natural
resources but also damage the environment at every stage of their
use.
Many renewable technologies are required to jointly
combat the three major energy challenges of today:
•
Energy Security –
reducing reliance on imported oil and gas.
•
Energy Gap – increasing demand will
outstrip generated supply as old plants are decommissioned.
•
Climate Change – reducing carbon emissions
in line with EU targets.
The GEM technology can provide a sustainable low carbon solution
by utilising local resources to meet local requirements. By
utilising waste products as fuel, GEM can create clean renewable
energy or fuel, as well as providing an effective solution for the
problem of waste treatment and disposal.
