Yasayoni & Tesla-Evercraft Cold Catalytic Conversion Technology

TECHNOLOGY & PROCESS

Yasayoni LLC with Tesla-Evercraft uses Cold Catalytic Conversion (CCC), a process that converts mixed municipal and industrial waste into usable
products: synthetic crude oil (SynCrude), electricity, hydrogen, activated carbon, and inert residues. Unlike incineration or
pyrolysis, CCC works at low temperatures (260-360°C), without pressure, and avoids harmful emissions such as dioxins and
furans.

Comparison with traditional technologies:
Landfills: Produce methane and leachate
Incinerators: Burn at over 850°C, generating CO2 and toxic ash
Pyrolysis/Gasification: 400-1200°C, produce syngas but sensitive to feedstock
CCC: 260-360°C, modular, low emissions, multi-product output (fuels, hydrogen, electricity)

SynCrude: Liquid hydrocarbon, refinable to diesel/gasoline/kerosene
Electricity & Heat: Via combined heat and power (CHP)
Hydrogen: Via gas fractions or hybrid electrolyzers
SAF: Sustainable Aviation Fuel
Inert Residues: For construction uses

Each module handles 350-1,000 kg/hour (approximately 3,000-8,000 tonnes/year). Plants can be scaled with multiple modules to
meet specific capacity requirements.

CCC operates at low temperatures and without pressure, significantly reducing fire and explosion risks. No open combustion means reduced dioxin formation. Safety systems include continuous monitoring, automatic shutdown protocols, and sealed modular design for enhanced operational safety.

Accepted waste types:
Primary: Municipal solid waste (MSW), plastics, biomass, packaging residues, medical wastes
Partial acceptance: Textiles, rubber, composites (after preprocessing)
Excluded: Hazardous wastes, batteries, radioactive materials

SynCrude is a low-sulfur synthetic oil with approximately 32-36 MJ/kg calorific value. It can be:
Used directly as industrial fuel
Refined into diesel, gasoline, or kerosene
Sold as chemical or plastics feedstock

Yes. Hydrogen is recovered from SynCrude or gas fractions. Larger hydrogen projects utilize CCC electricity and gases combined
with electrolyzers for increased production capacity.

Modules are containerized and skid-mounted for flexible deployment:

Small towns: 1-2 modules (10-20 tonnes/day)
Cities: 10-20 modules (100-300 tonnes/day)
Industrial hubs: Larger multi-module plants for high-volume processing

OPERATIONS & ECONOMICS

Maintenance and Financial Information

The CCC reactor is not sensitive to altitude. However, CHP engines and turbines lose efficiency above 1,500-2,000 meters
elevation. Cooling systems may also require adjustment for high-altitude installations.

Daily/Weekly: Conveyor, pump, and emission monitoring checks
Quarterly: Clean heat exchangers, inspect catalyst
Annual: Replace or reactivate catalyst (12-18 months), calibrate controls
Lifecycle: Modules last 15-20 years with proper servicing

SCADA-based semi-automatic operation
Remote monitoring capabilities
Operators focus on feedstock handling and routine checks

Single module: 6-9 months (manufacture, assembly, testing)
Multi-module plant: 12-18 months including site preparation

Pre-treatment line: Shredders, dryers, separators
Energy conversion: CHP engines or turbines
Fuel storage: SynCrude tanks, pumps
Gas cleaning: Scrubbers, filters
Utilities: Power grid connection, cooling loop, compressed air, control systems

Fresh waste: Higher calorific value, better yields
Landfill waste: Degraded, wetter, more inert matter resulting in lower yields

Capital expenditure varies by configuration, location, and specific project requirements. Tesla-Evercraft provides customized
quotations based on detailed feasibility studies and site assessments.

Projected ROI: Under 3 years
IRR estimates: 18-25% in favorable markets

Labor: 3-5 operators per shift
Energy: 50-80 kWh/tonne
Catalyst: Replacement every 12-18 months
Maintenance: Conveyors, pumps, scrubbers
Other: Waste preprocessing and compliance costs

Stored in standard tanks; mild heating optional for flow optimization
Transported by tanker trucks to refineries or industrial users
Can be blended or pipelined into existing refinery systems

PPP: Public-Private Partnership with municipalities
BOO: Build-Own-Operate model for investors
Licensing: Technology licensing for local operators
Green Finance: EU, UN programs, and carbon credit financing

ENVIRONMENTAL & REGULATORY

Compliance and ESG Impact

Environmental: Diverts waste from landfills, avoids methane emissions, replaces fossil fuels
Social: Creates local jobs, improves public health by reducing open dumping
Governance: Aligns with EU Green Deal, UN Sustainable Development Goals, ESG mandates

Metals: Recovered and sold as scrap
Glass/Stone/Ceramics: Reused as construction aggregates
Residual Ash: Inert material, usable in road base or concrete production

Plants include continuous monitoring systems for CO2, CO, NOx, SO2, particulates, and VOCs. Comprehensive reports are
provided to regulators for compliance verification and ongoing environmental management.

Permits: Construction, environmental impact, air emissions, waste treatment license
Safety: CE/UL compliance, ATEX certification
ISO Standards: 14001 (environmental management), 50001 (energy management)
Carbon Credits: Eligible under VCS (Verified Carbon Standard) or EU ETS (Emissions Trading System)

Municipalities seeking alternatives to landfills
Industrial parks requiring self-sufficient energy solutions
Refineries and traders purchasing SynCrude
Hydrogen buyers in transportation and industrial sectors

Yes, landfill mining is possible but requires extensive sorting and drying processes. It can reclaim valuable land and generate fuel,
though yields are lower than fresh waste due to material degradation.

Yes. CCC provides baseload power to complement intermittent solar and wind generation, can supply hydrogen or SynCrude as
energy storage, and helps stabilize microgrids for improved energy resilience.

CARBON CREDITS & CLIMATE IMPACT

Revenue Opportunities and Environmental Benefits

CCC prevents methane emissions from landfills (25-30 times stronger than CO2 in climate impact) and displaces fossil fuel use by
producing SynCrude and electricity. These avoided emissions can be certified under carbon markets such as Verified Carbon
Standard (VCS) or EU Emissions Trading System (ETS).

Carbon Credit Generation Estimates:
Landfill Diversion: Avoiding approximately 1 tonne of waste landfilled can save 0.6-1.0 tCO2e
Energy Displacement: 1 MWh equals approximately 0.4-0.6 tCO2e avoided
Mid-Size Plant: Processing 5,000-8,000 tonnes/year could generate 10,000-20,000 carbon credits per year

Yes. At €20-50 per tonne CO2e, a plant generating 20,000 credits could add €400,000 to €1 million per year in additional
revenue.

Third-party baseline studies to establish avoided emissions
Accredited monitoring of waste input, energy output, and emissions
Registration with approved carbon registry (VERRA, Gold Standard, or EU ETS)
Annual verification by accredited auditors

Carbon Credits: For avoided landfill and fossil emissions
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs): For green electricity generation
Government Subsidies: Tax breaks under green transition programs
