GIDARA Energy is thrilled to announce that its HTW^® (High Temperature Winkler) technology for Gasification of solid waste to syngas has been chosen by Aker Solutions (AKSO) as one of the suppliers for a feasibility study in the Equinor Mongstad Industrial Transformation (MIT) project. The primary objective of this project is to convert solid waste and RDF (Refuse-Derived Fuel) into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

As part of the feasibility study, GIDARA aims to showcase its in-house HTW^® Gasification unit, which is designed to efficiently convert solid waste feedstock into a clean syngas. This process involves the pre-treatment of waste through drying and storing, as well as the cleaning and treatment of raw syngas. The resulting clean and environmentally friendly syngas will then be utilized in the production of SAF, either through a Fischer-Tropsch process or an alternative methanol/ethanol-to-jet process.

Dr. Norbert Kamp, the CEO of GIDARA Energy, expressed his enthusiasm about the opportunity to contribute to Aker Solutions and Equinor as a potential supplier. He emphasized that GIDARA Energy’s ultimate purpose is to address the global waste issue, reduce CO2 emissions, and combat climate change. The selection of GIDARA’s HTW^® technology for this feasibility study is a testament to the company’s commitment to innovative and sustainable waste management solutions.

By leveraging their HTW^® technology, GIDARA Energy aims to play a pivotal role in advancing the development of renewable aviation fuel and making significant strides towards a more sustainable and carbon-neutral future. The company is eager to collaborate with Aker Solutions and Equinor in exploring the potential of their state-of-the-art gasification technology in the context of the Equinor Mongstad Industrial Transformation project.
