Ethos Energy designs, supplies and maintains waste-processing plants that produce renewable energy using its proprietary Advanced Thermal Treatment technology. This technology is entirely modular and is based on staged and separated pyrolysis, gasification, and high temperature oxidisation.
There are many benefits associated with this new technology. For example, it allows for a more controlled process than conventional incineration. Pollutants normally associated with incineration are either destroyed or not produced. As a result, the emissions are comparatively very low. It also offers a cost effective solution for waste processing on a small scale, as conventional incinerators are not usually financially viable for under 200,000 tonnes per annum of waste.
There are two scales of waste-processing plant available, small and large. Their unique small-scale waste-processing plant, specifically developed in 2006, processes up to 3.6 tonnes of waste per day. Energy recovered from the process can be used to provide heating, chilling and hot water. In partnership with QinetiQ Ltd, the unit was designed and developed to enable the UK MoD to efficiently process un-segregated municipal solid waste and food waste produced on-board naval vessels. The first application of this plant is currently undergoing trials aboard a Royal Naval Warship and results are due in early 2010.

The Bristol Port Estate and Vicinity Initiative (BPE&VI) has been underway since July 2009. It brings together local businesses to explore opportunities for sustainable resource management (including management of materials, energy, water, logistics, facilities, land and expertise). The primary objective is to gain economic and sustainable advantage. Sixty or more businesses from Royal Portbury Dock to Severn Beach, large and small, and representing diverse sectors are actively involved so far. They have welcomed the initiative as a platform for networking and information exchange and many have achieved cost savings and other benefits including The Bristol Port Company.
