Turning Waste into Sustainable Fuel: GIDARA Energy’s HTW® Technology Selected for Aker Solutions’ MIT Project

GIDARA Energy’s HTW® (High Temperature Winkler) technology has been selected by Aker Solutions (AKSO) to take part in a feasibility study for the Equinor Mongstad Industrial Transformation (MIT) project. The main goal of this project is to transform solid waste and RDF into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

GIDARA Energy will showcase its in-house HTW® Gasification unit, which is designed to convert solid waste feedstock into clean syngas. This process includes pre-treatment of waste (drying/storing) and cleaning/treatment of raw syngas to ensure it meets quality standards.

The clean and sustainable syngas produced will then be used to produce SAF through either a Fischer-Tropsch process or a methanol/ethanol-to-jet process. Dr. Norbert Kamp, CEO of GIDARA Energy, expressed his enthusiasm about collaborating with Aker Solutions and Equinor on this cutting-edge project.

GIDARA Energy specializes in converting waste feedstocks into sustainable fuels and circular chemicals using their patented technologies. Their HTW® technology produces syngas, a versatile mixture that can be used to make various sustainable fuels and circular chemicals such as methanol, hydrogen, methane, and bio-based substances.

In addition to providing valuable products, this syngas can also be directly converted into heat and power, benefiting sectors looking to reduce their dependence on fossil resources and lower carbon emissions. GIDARA Energy’s commitment to addressing waste management, reducing CO2 emissions, and combating climate change is reflected in their innovative approach to turning waste into valuable and sustainable products.
