BIOGRAPHY
Jim Schubert, P. Eng. General Supervisor, Conversion Technologies Waste Management Branch, City of Edmonton
Jim is a Chemical Engineer with over 20 years experience in the solid waste field and has specialized in the waste combustion area. He has been working on the City’s gasification project since it’s inception in 2002 as a feasibility study (which looked at the Gasification/Waste to Energy options for the residual waste streams). Mr. Schubert is the City’s project manager for the planned new Waste to Biofuels facility and integrated processing and transfer facility at the Edmonton Waste Management Centre. The waste processing system will produce a refuse derived fuel which will be sent over to the new gasification facility for treatment. The overall processing, transfer and gasification facility will nicely compliment the City’s existing large scale material recovery and composting facilities. An adjacent pilot gasification facility is also being built and will do research on a variety of waste feedstocks and gas to liquid fuels that can be produced from the syngas.
