Questions
Twelve questions, answered plainly.
What funders, operators, off takers and technology partners ask before they take the call. If yours is not here, the form at the end reaches the founder.
The concept
What AERC is, how large, what the fuel is and why kilns. The process page has the four stages.
What is AERC?
The Alternative Energy Resource Consortium is a consortium concept to convert municipal solid waste into refuse derived fuel, a replacement for part of the coal burned in cement kilns and industrial plants.
How large is the project?
The concept is designed for 7,500 tonnes of municipal waste a day, as a waste management project of about USD 500M.
What is refuse derived fuel?
Fuel made from the combustible part of municipal waste after recyclables and inert material are removed, then shredded to a consistent size and dried so it holds a predictable energy value.
Why cement kilns?
Cement kilns run hot enough to use refuse derived fuel cleanly and continuously, and they burn large volumes of coal that the fuel can partly replace.
Why does it matter?
Waste that would be buried becomes a product with a buyer, and the buyer burns less fossil fuel. Less landfill methane from decomposing waste and less coal at the kiln, from the same tonne of material.
Where it stands
Stage, permits, founder and the people involved. The about page has the file.
What stage is it at?
Concept stage. The consortium agreements are signed by every stakeholder, the operating company is being registered with Dubai DED, and a municipal partnership is in development but not signed.
Does AERC hold permits, a site or off take contracts?
Not yet. Technology and logistics mapping is under way and plant mapping has started. No permit, site or supply contract is claimed on this site.
Who founded AERC?
Adnan Feroz is Founder and Board Director. He conceived the consortium, assembled its partners and negotiated the consortium agreements, which are now signed by every stakeholder. AERC is part of the Adnan Feroz Group.
Who else is involved?
The consortium was built in collaboration with Abdulla Bin Mujren Investment Group, and the programme sits inside the Canada to UAE bilateral pipeline as Initiative 12, resource recovery. Consortium partners are introduced under NDA.
Partners
What is sought and how a partnership starts. The partners page has the four seats.
What is AERC looking for?
A funding partner and an operating partner with waste to energy or refuse derived fuel experience, industrial off takers for supply agreements, and process technology partners.
What does a funding partner get?
The consortium brief under NDA and the capital case as it stands, for a project of about USD 500M structured through the group's capital advisory arm. No return figure is quoted on this site.
How does a partnership start?
Tell us your seat on the form, receive the concept summary, sign the NDA for the consortium brief, then meet the founder and the signed stakeholders where the fit is clear.
