GIDARA Energy’s HTW® Gasification Unit Set to Revolutionize Waste-to-Fuel Conversion in Equinor Mongstad Industrial Transformation Project

GIDARA Energy, a leading provider of sustainable fuels and circular chemicals, has been selected by Aker Solutions (AKSO) to participate in a feasibility study for the Equinor Mongstad Industrial Transformation (MIT) project. The aim of this project is to convert solid waste and RDF into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

As part of the study, GIDARA will showcase their in-house HTW® Gasification unit, which is designed to convert solid waste feedstock into clean syngas. This process involves pre-treating waste through drying and storing, as well as cleaning and treating the raw syngas.

The clean syngas produced will be used to create SAF through either a Fischer-Tropsch process or a methanol/ethanol-to-jet process. Dr. Norbert Kamp, CEO of GIDARA Energy, expressed excitement at the opportunity to work with Aker Solutions and Equinor on this project, stating that GIDARA aims to address waste management, reduce CO2 emissions, and combat climate change.

GIDARA Energy’s HTW® technology generates syngas capable of producing fuels like methanol, hydrogen, methane, and bio or circular chemicals. This versatile syngas can also be used to generate heat and power, offering additional benefits to sectors looking to reduce their reliance on fossil resources and decrease carbon emissions.

GIDARA Energy specializes in converting waste feedstocks into sustainable fuels and circular chemicals using patented technologies. Their HTW® technology has been recognized for its ability to produce high-quality syngas from various types of feedstocks including municipal solid waste (MSW), agricultural residues, industrial by-products and more.

With this feasibility study underway, the future looks bright for GIDARA Energy as they continue to develop innovative technologies that help address global environmental challenges while generating economic value for their partners.
