This document discusses worldwide consumption and waste problems and proposes a solution using LTC technology. It notes that consumption is increasing rapidly worldwide, leading to issues like increased pollution from mass production, urbanization, and energy demands. Waste is also a growing global problem, with garbage covering the planet and each person producing half a ton per year. The proposed solution is the LTC (Low Temperature Conversion) technology, which can convert any organic waste into recyclable materials and renewable energy through a thermocatalytic process without combustion at temperatures below 650 degrees Celsius. This process avoids pollution, replaces fossil fuels, reduces emissions, and increases energy production efficiency compared to conventional plants.

LTC-PROCESS
PROCESS SCHEME
LTC is a thermocatalytical
pulping process without air
supply (no combustion!), no
open flame.
LTC decomposes organic
material into their basic
elements and converts them
into a clean strong gas.
LTC produces gas or
electricity or oils with CO2-
emissions that have been
reduced by 70%.

9. LTC – TECHNOLOGIE
LTC-PROCESS
LTC-Systems guarantee an energy-
efficiency of 45% - 65%, depending on
the starting material.
This efficiency is possible because the
LTC process works in its own circulation
and therefore the produced heat can
be reused for the converting process.
LTC plants feed themselves with the
energy they have produced and do
not need any external energy supply
for heating or cooling.
LTC plants offer local solutions for
waste problems both for industry and
communities.
There is the possibility to store the
produced gas and generate the
electricity when needed
This leads to further possibilities to
generate optimal revenue for the
LTC plant operator.
Conventional combustion systems
convert only max. 35% of the waste
inputs into electricity
Loose a large part of heat not
converted into energy.
Energy can not be stored and only be
transported with a complex
infrastucture.

Low running costs because of
full automation and low
