Waste-to-Fuel

Alternative Engineered Fuels

Not every waste stream fits neatly into traditional recycling. For the materials that cannot be recycled or reused, SES creates Alternative Engineered Fuels (AEFs) that replace coal, petcoke, and natural gas in cement kilns and other high-temperature industrial applications.

Our program diverts thousands of tons of waste from landfills each year while giving industry a cleaner energy source. The SES fuel blend is pre-qualified and processed to a kiln-approved profile. Once waste is converted to fuel, the materials are classified as Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials (NHSMs) under 40 CFR 241.

  • 100% material utilization: zero residual waste, with ash incorporated into the final product
  • High material acceptance rate that includes materials traditionally labeled non-recyclable
  • Direct fossil fuel replacement: AEFs displace coal, petcoke & natural gas in industrial kilns
  • Comprehensive zero waste reporting on all materials received, with verifiable landfill diversion documentation

Processing Capacity

Advanced Processing Technology & High Volume Capacity

SES shreds, screens, and blends non-recyclable materials into a consistent fuel product, moving high-volume industrial loads at a pace that keeps your operations running strong. Materials are accepted loose, baled, compacted, or mixed, with no pre-sorting required on your end.

Every batch is engineered to a kiln-approved specification before it ships to cement kilns and other high-temperature industrial users, where it repaces coal, petcoke, and natural gas. Each load is weighed and documented on receipt, so the material leaving your dock returns as verified landfill diversion data.
