Waste to Energy
Redefining how Latin America manages waste—turning today's environmental liability into tomorrow's clean energy and sustainable products
Transforming Waste into Strategic Assets
At Blue Steel Group, we are redefining how Latin America manages waste—turning today's environmental liability into tomorrow's clean energy and sustainable products. Our Waste to Energy (WtE) platform is built on advanced thermochemical conversion that transforms municipal and industrial waste into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), green urea, and dispatchable renewable electricity. This integrated approach closes the loop of the circular economy: waste is no longer buried in landfills—it becomes a strategic feedstock for decarbonization, energy security, and economic growth.
From Waste to High-Value Outputs
Our technology converts waste into a clean synthesis gas, which is then upgraded through specialized downstream processes to produce:
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)
Decarbonize aviation and meet rapidly growing global demand for low-carbon fuels.
Green Urea
For sustainable agriculture and industrial applications, reducing reliance on fossil-based ammonia.
Electricity & Process Heat
Supply reliable, low-carbon power to local grids and industrial users.
By integrating fuels, chemicals, and power in a single platform, Blue Steel maximizes efficiency, resilience, and project economics—while dramatically cutting lifecycle emissions.
A Bold Regional Mission
Our ambition is clear: reduce landfill disposal in Latin America to less than 5% while accelerating global decarbonization. Landfills are one of the region's largest sources of methane and environmental degradation. Blue Steel's WtE solutions directly address this challenge by diverting waste streams at scale and converting them into climate-positive outputs.
Growth Plan: Building the Leading WtE Platform in LATAM
Blue Steel Group is executing a disciplined, scalable growth strategy to become the largest Waste to Energy company in Latin America:
Phase 1 – Anchor Projects & Replication
We are developing flagship, multi-product WtE projects in:
- Costa Rica
- Peru
- El Salvador
- Honduras
Each project is designed as a modular, repeatable platform—combining SAF, urea, and power—tailored to local waste profiles and energy needs.
Phase 2 – Regional Scale-Up
Using standardized engineering, EPC execution, and long-term offtake agreements, we will rapidly replicate these assets across major urban and industrial hubs in LATAM, partnering with municipalities, airlines, agribusiness, and utilities.
Phase 3 – Decarbonization at Continental Scale
By aggregating projects into a regional portfolio, Blue Steel will unlock economies of scale, carbon credit monetization, and sustainable finance—positioning the company as a cornerstone of Latin America's energy transition and a global reference in Waste to Energy.
Decarbonizing the Planet, Starting in LATAM
Every ton of waste diverted from landfills, every gallon of SAF produced, and every megawatt of clean electricity generated moves us closer to a low-carbon future. At Blue Steel Group, Waste to Energy is not just a technology—it is a strategy to transform cities, protect the environment, and power sustainable growth for generations to come. Blue Steel Group is building the future where waste becomes value—and Latin America leads the way.
UPCOMING PROJECTS
Blue Steel Group is deploying a standardized, modular Waste to Energy platform across Latin America to process 100% of municipal organic waste from major capital cities and metropolitan areas. Each facility converts waste into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), green urea, and renewable electricity, eliminating landfills while delivering strategic low-carbon products.
🇨🇷 Costa Rica — San José Metro Organics-to-SAF/Urea/Power Hub
Feedstock basis: Greater Metropolitan Area handles 3,000 tons/day of MSW, with 55.9% organic fraction
Expected Outputs:
- SAF: 60 million liters/year
- Green urea: 120 thousand tons/year
- Net electricity export: 34 MW (plus process heat for internal use)
🇵🇪 Peru – Lima Metropolitan Mega-Scale WtE Complex
Processing capacity: 4,900 tons/day of municipal organic waste
Annual Outputs:
- SAF: up to 170 million liters
- Green urea:up to 340,000 tons
- Renewable electricity:up to 100 MW net
Designed as one of the largest WtE facilities in Latin America, the Lima project serves as a continental benchmark—transforming urban waste into strategic energy and chemical products while drastically reducing landfill dependency and methane emissions.
🇸🇻 El Salvador – San Salvador Metropolitan WtE Facility
Processing capacity: 700 tons/day of municipal organic waste
Annual Outputs:
- SAF: up to 24 million liters
- Green urea:up to 50,000 tons
- Renewable electricity:up to 14 MW net
This plant provides El Salvador with a resilient, low-carbon waste solution—converting urban organics into clean fuels, agricultural inputs, and reliable electricity while stabilizing municipal waste management costs.
These projects represent the first wave of Blue Steel Group's expansion. Using a replicable design, standardized EPC execution, and long-term offtake agreements, the platform is built to scale rapidly across Latin America—positioning Blue Steel Group as the largest Waste to Energy company in LATAM and a global reference in waste-driven decarbonization.
