Masada’s Waste-to-Ethanol Technology is Permitted and Approved by
Regulatory Agencies in the United States
Masada’s CES OxyNol project
in Orange County, New York is fully permitted and has undergone the most stringent and thorough environmental review by state
and federal regulatory agencies. The process is environmentally sustainable and has the support of local environmental organizations.
Masada’s CES OxyNol process offers a local waste disposal solution. As such, air quality
is improved by reducing diesel emissions and energy is saved by eliminating trucks hauling waste to distant landfills or incinerators. This process converts the organic fraction of the municipal waste streams into usable products. As a result, useful
organic/cellulosic matter is not buried in a landfill or burned. The lignin-biosolid fuel produced in the CES OxyNol process
supplies plant energy. It also is an effective co-fired solid fuel for coal fired boilers. The use of this lignin-biofuel
reduces the carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emission of a typical coal fired power plant. Landfills release numerous greenhouse gases as the waste slowly decays. The EPA estimates that landfills contribute 25%
of the total anthropogenic emissions of methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas, in the United States. Additionally,
current “burning” and ‘burying” waste disposal methods typically release heavy metals and other contaminants into the environment. To view the Masada's Title V Permit Renewal, Title V Permit
