The landfill at Nikšić, known as Mislov do, has been an ongoing environmental problem since its opening in 2003. Initially intended as a temporary solution for just five years, the landfill has since accumulated around 650,000 tons of waste from Nikšić and surrounding municipalities. The landfill has caused significant environmental damage due to repeated fires and inadequate disposal standards. Here, the innovative technology from EverCraft Ecotechnologies could provide a sustainable and profitable solution.
The Problem with the Mislov do Landfill
Since its inception, the Mislov do landfill has been overwhelmed with waste, far exceeding its capacity. Experts have repeatedly warned of the environmental hazards posed by this landfill, including air pollution from fires and the risk of contaminating nearby watercourses with leachate. Particularly severe was the year 2020, when the landfill burned continuously for 45 days, releasing massive amounts of pollutants.
The fires at the landfill are not just a local issue; they contribute to global environmental pollution as burning waste emits toxic gases and greenhouse gases. This has adverse effects on the health of local residents and the environment at large. The challenges in waste disposal and the ongoing environmental concerns highlight the urgent need for innovative solutions.
EverCraft Ecotechnologies: A Sustainable Solution
EverCraft Ecotechnologies offers a promising solution to the waste problem with their ACA (Advanced Carbon Absorption) and LTC (Low Temperature Conversion) technologies. These technologies enable the conversion of waste into valuable materials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, as well as the production of green hydrogen, a clean energy carrier.
ACA Technology
The ACA technology uses thermo-catalytic processes to split methane and CO₂. This process allows the production of high-quality carbon products with significantly less energy consumption compared to traditional methods. A major advantage of this technology is its flexibility regarding the types of waste used, making it possible to efficiently convert various kinds of waste found in landfills like Mislov do into valuable materials.
LTC Technology
The LTC technology complements the ACA technology by enabling the conversion of waste at low temperatures. This allows for environmentally friendly and cost-effective processing, which is both economically and ecologically sustainable. The green hydrogen produced in this process can be used as a clean energy carrier, providing additional economic benefits.
Benefits of Implementing EverCraft Technologies in Nikšić
Implementing EverCraft Ecotechnologies' solutions could address the environmental problems of the Mislov do landfill in several ways:
- Reduction of Environmental Impact: By converting waste into valuable materials and green hydrogen, emissions of pollutants are significantly reduced.
- Sustainable Energy Production: The green hydrogen produced can be used as a clean energy carrier, reducing dependency on fossil fuels.
- Economic Advantages: The production of carbon nanotubes and graphene offers substantial economic potential as these materials are in high demand in various high-tech industries.
- Job Creation: Implementing these technologies could create new jobs in the region, contributing to economic development.
- Improved Quality of Life: Reducing air and water pollution will improve the health of local residents.
Conclusion
The burning landfill at Nikšić presents a significant environmental and health issue that urgently needs a solution.
