- 22,000 inhabited islands globally
SREUS Energy founders have already worked with several island nations on energy issues. SREUS units would be greatly welcomed as nearly all the 22,000 inhabited islands have both power and water needs, as well as trash mitigation. In the developing world, there are hundreds of thousands of struggling communities that could benefit from SREUS instillations.

FUEL
Possible Fuel Inputs
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Well, in this instance, perhaps your trash could be your treasure… When it comes to producing power and clean water using the SREUS system, there are many fuels that can power it:
Alcohols
Isopropyl, methyl, ethanol, as well as xylene, acetone and most other flammable solvents can be used as fuel.
Cardboard Garbage
Single layer and multi-layer cardboard can be used.
Charcoal
Fire clean up wood and production charcoal can be ground and used as fuel for the SREUS unit.
Coke
Coke is charcoal made from coal that is used in steel plants. Abandoned piles of coke from retired facilities can also serve as fuel.
Crude Oil
Unrefined oil from wells or even oil spill water can be inserted as fuel.
Dairy and Food Plant Wash Down Water
Between each batch of milk or yogurt, the equipment must be cleaned. The wash down water ends up with fats, sugars, and proteins that make useful SREUS fuels.
Diesel
Diesel fuel, spilled diesel, off-spec, high sulfur, biodiesel, and vegetable oils of all kinds can be used as fuel for the SREUS unit.
Food Scraps
Typically from food plants, cut-off ends, peelings, seeds, pits, damaged or rotting food, and anything that goes down a garbage disposal can be recycled as SREUS fuel.
Grains and Seeds
Wheat, corn, oats, or many seeds that are spoiled, wet, or dry can be fed through the reactor as fuel.
Green Waste
Grass clippings, tree trimmings, leaves, old hay, straw, weeds, and invasive plant species are great fuel options.
High Sulfur Coal
High sulfur coal has been a major source of pollution and acid rain. Stockpiles of high sulfur coal can be run through SREUS with zero acid rain emissions.
Hulls
Soybean, dried bean, or dried pea pods can all be used as fuel.
Manure
Horse and cow manure, including feedlot and dairy manure, are great SREUS fuels.
Natural Gas
Either filtered or raw natural gas can be inserted as fuel.
Nut Shells
Shells from peanut, almond, walnut, and coconut husks all can be used as fuel for power.
Oil Well Production Water
This is water that comes up when drilling for oil, usually about 3x water to oil. SREUS units can purify this previously contaminated water, producing power as a bonus.
Paper Trash
Paper fiber, newspaper, mail, and adds are all viable fuel options.
Plastics
Plastic garbage or recycling rejects, polyethylene, polypropylene, milk jugs, plastic bottles, grocery bags, and even baby diapers can act as non-toxic fuel for a SREUS unit.
Post Process Sugars and Starches
Some food processes leave behind sugars, starches, fats, and proteins. Nearly all of these can be fuel for a SREUS unit.
Sewage
Yes, even post-flush waste can be used.
Sewer Gas
Sewer gas is methane that comes off of decomposing sewage water. Captured sewer gas could also be used as fuel.
Wood
Sawdust, wood fibers, sticks, twigs, and shredded stumps are great SREUS fuels.
