Energy Self-Sufficient in Anticipation of War

Advanced Renewable

These days there is an ongoing attack on the epicenter of world oil production, so it is not surprising that oil and gas prices will increase seriously. Especially for countries that do not have their own oil and gas sources, or have sources but are not sufficient, this is an opportunity to turn to Advanced Biofuels which was launched by the European Union 6 years ago and came into effect in 2022, which they call RED II .

RED II standard advanced biofuels can be gasoline, diesel, LPG and even jet fuel and hydrogen. What differentiates them from other biofuels is that they cannot compete with food, agricultural land, forests and cannot even disturb marine biota. They have exactly same specification with petroleum-based fuels, but the feedstock come from biogenic materials.

Of the 17 specific raw material items mentioned in Annex IX A of RED II, those that are abundant around us are husks, straw, corn cobs, empty palm fruit bunches, POME, garden waste, forest waste and urban organic waste. One or more of these materials must be around you as well.

So how do you process these materials into RED II standard fuels? Since it was initiated in 2017, we have followed this plan and therefore what we call the Advanced Renewable Organization (ARO) was born, which essentially becomes a think tank for science and technology that allows us to produce RED II standard advanced biofuels and become an opportunity for all of us.

The various reactors and energy machines that we have shared on this social media and on our official website at www.advancedrenewable.org are a manifestation of the 6 years of hard work since the organization was formed. The sketch below is one of our impromptu plans prepared in anticipation that the war currently taking place in the Middle East escalates and energy becomes scarce or unaffordable.

The reactors carried by this trailer consist of the OCCYRE reactor to process waste and emissions into standard syngas, the XH2 reactor to upgrade standard syngas into H2-rich syngas, the membrane reactor if pure hydrogen production is needed, and the BTX reactor to process H2-rich syngas into petrol, diesel, LPG and if necessary also jet-fuel.

The ARO Team is currently ready to be deployed to any part of the world that needs this unusual energy solution, for a world that is not ok right now.
