The control room, open.
Two tools that run on the page, three templates you can read and copy on the page, six guides with their sources. They are the questions a funder, an operator, a kiln or a technology supplier asks before the NDA, written so you can answer them alone first.
Tools that run here
- Fuel yield estimatorTonnes of waste in, the fraction removed at sorting and the moisture driven off at drying: the page gives tonnes of fuel out, a day and a year. Your assumptions, no defaults.Open
- Which seat? A three-question routerFunding, operating, off take or technology: three questions and the page names the seat, what it brings and what it receives, and opens the form with it set.Open
Templates on the page
- Consortium partner briefThe one page a prospective partner fills before the NDA: entity, seat, what it brings, experience, references.Open it free
- Feedstock and fuel data sheetThe columns a kiln operator and a fuel plant both fill: energy value, moisture, size, ash, chlorine, test method, limit and measured.Open it free
- NDA and brief request checklistThe steps from first contact to the consortium brief, who provides what, and the dated timeline.Open it free
Guides
- What refuse derived fuel is, and what it is notWhat refuse derived fuel is, how it is made from municipal waste, how it differs from solid recovered fuel, and why consistent quality decides whether a kiln will buy it.5 min
- How cement kilns use alternative fuel: co-processing explainedWhat co-processing is, why a cement kiln is suited to waste derived fuel, what the industry guidelines say, and what a kiln operator asks a fuel supplier.6 min
- RDF plant or waste to energy plant: what is the difference?How a refuse derived fuel plant differs from a waste to energy incinerator, using Dubai's Warsan waste to energy plant as the reference point, and where a fuel plant fits beside it.6 min
- The UAE's waste targets for 2031, and what they mean for a fuel plantThe UAE National Agenda for Integrated Waste Management targets for 2031, Abu Dhabi's 80% landfill diversion goal and 2025 progress, Sharjah's diversion rate, and why they matter to a refuse derived fuel plant.6 min
- How a project consortium works: seats, agreements and the NDAWhat a consortium is for an infrastructure project, the seats AERC has defined (funding, operating, off take, technology), what the consortium agreement and the NDA do, and what "concept stage" means.5 min
- What an off take agreement covers for refuse derived fuelThe terms an off take or fuel supply agreement usually covers: specification, volume, term, delivery, testing and what happens when the fuel is out of spec. Written for kiln operators and the funders who read their contracts.5 min

When you are ready to talk
Partner with AERC
Funders, operators, off takers and technology partners. Two questions, then your details. The concept summary follows, and the consortium brief under NDA.
Nothing in chat is an offer of securities or a promise of returns. AERC is at concept stage.
