The Eco Grid Energy
would like to emphasize the use of scrap tires as fuel. Making use of home waste to energy is the best way to prevent landfill. Over 130 million scrap tires help recover at least 45%
energy in 2003. In shredded form, we can use waste tires as fuel. For some
people, it is known as tire derived fuel. In ordinary living, such tires are
being used to supplement the combustion of traditional fuels such as coal or
wood. To facilitate the process, the tires needed to be reduced in size. We may
derive fuel from waste tires, waste tire tubes, waste rubber shoes, waste
rubber belt, and leftover bits while manufacturing rubber.
The trend - reduce, reuse, recycle scrap tires to energy
The EPA recognizes the use of tire derived fuel as a viable
alternative to the use of fossil fuels. The TDF showed higher BTU value than
coal. Because of its higher heating value, the TDF has been the primary market
for tires from 1979 to 1992. The heating value of the TDF is 25 to 50% higher
than coal and 100 to 200% higher than wood. The utility boilers, paper mills,
and cement kilns may find the use of the TDF as supplemental fuel economically
beneficial. Studies conducted by the state and the federal agencies confirmed
the use of the TDF as environmentally sound. Looking at the business trend of
scrap tires being used as fuel versus other market applications, about 11% of
the 25 million total scrap tires in 1990 were used as TDF. Although the number
of tires used has been increasing since 1992, there were only 44% of the 127
million scrap tires used as TDF in 2003. This means that the waste tires are
being used for other markets. Scrap tire management laws and regulation needed
to be enacted all over the state to prevent landfill.
Grants and funding available for people interested to set up
a facility for scrap tire management
Most of the scrap tire management and recycling programs can
be seen at the state level. Innovative technology and market research are
available at federal research funding. The NCERQA administers the Small
Business Innovation Research Program. The SBIR program funds research proposals
such as solid waste management techniques. The objective of the program is to
promote technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship, which includes
commercialization. The program is meant to encourage international
competitiveness and commercial ventures that could improve our quality of life,
productivity, and create jobs. In other words, enhance life and increase
economic growth. If you need to look for grants, start looking at the state
level for the scrap tire grant program.
If you think you are getting aware to sell your scrap tires
and is not interested in processing them yourselves, please contact the Eco
Grid Energy through email or call 5122223221 to ask more relevant information
about the Eco Grid Recycler service.
