ASR Waste-to-Energy

Waste-to-energy applied to automotive shredder residue does two things at once: it eliminates a persistent landfill stream and it produces power — specifically, the continuous baseload power that variable renewables cannot provide on their own.

The residue arrives steadily because retired vehicles and appliances do too. That steady supply translates directly into a steady electrical output, giving a waste-to-energy gasifier the around-the-clock operating profile of a baseload asset rather than an intermittent one.

Energy Where Baseload Matters

Klean’s reference plant illustrates the scale: a 2 x 40 MW thermal platform yielding 17 MW of electricity, with the power running the operator’s own facilities and the surplus sold to the grid. It is energy recovery that fills in exactly where solar and wind leave gaps.

The emissions profile is also a deliberate design choice. Gasification converts the material without the uncontrolled combustion of simpler incineration, and the ash-melting step locks the mineral fraction into an inert, non-leaching slag rather than a landfilled fly ash.

Disposal and Power, Solved Together

The combined value is what makes the route compelling: a waste obligation removed and a power asset created in the same plant. For a shredder operator or a utility, that pairing changes the economics of a material that once simply cost money to bury.
