Changing World Technologies, Inc. (“CWT”) is a company that
has developed a technology and business which
converts a variety of organic wastes into oil.
The patented Thermal Conversion Process (“TCP”)
breaks down waste by using water, heat and pressure
to produce a Renewable Diesel fuel and other valuable
co-products. The technology not only produces
a clean-burning fuel, it also promises to alleviate
dependence on landfills and incinerators. It contributes
to global objectives of moving to a more sustainable
environment and reduces dependency on fossil energy.
The significance and relevance of CWT’s
potential has been recognized and reported by
a wide range of media including Discover magazine,
Money magazine, National Geographic, CNN, NBC,
CBS, and the company has made the Scientific American
50 in the field of Energy. The company has raised
over $100M in private investments and developed
this new technology from cradle to technological
demonstration facility.
The general approach employed by the TCP is of
interest because of the flexibility in dealing
with mixed waste streams and the production of
a renewable diesel product that is similar to
existing diesel fuel oil. These fuels produced
from waste can be utilized in existing equipment
and without any modifications.
Feedstock waste may include, but is not limited
to, various food waste, mixed plastics, rubber,
greases, motor oils, sludge and inorganic material.
Engineering challenges exist, since these feedstocks
exhibit significant differences in their handling
characteristics, energy content, and yields, all
factors that impact a renewable diesel platform.
