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.
