Bio-MeGaFuel

GIDARA ENERGY

GIDARA Energy is focused on converting waste feedstocks into sustainable fuels and circular chemicals using our patented technologies. Our High-Temperature Winkler (HTW®) technology generates syngas, a versatile mixture capable of producing sustainable fuels like methanol, hydrogen, methane and bio- or circular chemicals.  This syngas can also be directly converted into heat and power, offering additional utility for various sectors aiming to reduce fossil resource use and carbon emissions.

The patented HTW® technology is the leading operational gasification process, with over a decade of waste gasification experience on a commercial scale. Over the years, the technology has been significantly improved to achieve better results and handle a broad range of waste and bio- feedstocks.

GIDARA Energy’s objective is to meet the demand for cleaner fuels, reduce global emissions, reduce waste and create a more circular economy. With a proven record of operational success and expertise across the entire value chain, GIDARA Energy is a driving force for a cleaner and greener future. The HTW® gasification technology provides a cost-competitive solution, unlocking the value of waste for sustainable fuel and chemical production while prioritizing cost, energy efficiency and GHG savings.

ROLE in Bio-MeGaFuel

GIDARA Energy’s contribution to the Bio-MeGaFuel project is mainly in work packages 2 and 4. Our patented High-Temperature Winkler (HTW®) gasification technology which is proven and flexible for conversion of a wide range of biomass and waste feedstock materials into synthesis gas will be applied as a benchmark gasification technology within the scope of this project. Our involvement in the project involves:

  • The selection and sourcing of biomass and/or waste feedstocks for the project. Our in-house expertise and experience developed over the years on waste and biomass combined with inputs from other consortium partners, would be tapped into in determining the feedstock suitable for gasification in the context of this project.
  • Design of experiments and support in carrying out the pilot-scale HTW® gasification tests.
  • Development of a 1-D model for HTW® gasification and validation of the model with experimental data from the pilot test campaign.
  • Comparison of CLG with HTW as the gasification technology for methanol synthesis.
  • Support and input to process optimization, techno-economic evaluation and LCA for the feedstock-to-methanol process route via HTW® gasification.
