While mechanical recycling has made strides, we will never be able to fully recycle all types of waste mechanically due to the quality of these materials - think of paper, plastic, textiles, and other composites that can’t be separated. Often, these mixed waste streams end up being incinerated, which is a significant loss in the carbon lifecycle. Did you know that in 2020, the Netherlands recycled only 56.8% of its waste, with material recycling barely reaching 30%? The rest was incinerated for energy, ending the carbon lifecycle prematurely (source: European Environment Agency). However, the Netherlands aims to be 100% circular by 2050. To close the plastics chain, we need new recycling technologies. This is where gasification comes into play! HTW® gasification is a powerful technology that transforms these mixed waste streams into valuable chemicals. By processing waste, we capture carbon that would otherwise come from new fossil sources, reducing our reliance on non-renewable resources and moving us closer to a true circular economy. It’s a challenging issue, and we’re keen to explore how HTW® gasification can play a role in enhancing the circularity of your business or process. How can we help you integrate this technology to make your operations more sustainable? Let’s discuss! #Gasification #CircularEconomy #SustainableTech #HTW #Recycling #Plastics #Circularity

As the world races toward net-zero, one old question remains: Can we meet our energy needs without compromising our food supply? In a recent episode of Bloomberg's energy podcast, industry experts discuss the critical trade-offs between allocating land for food versus fuel. The conversation highlights that while sustainable fuels are crucial for sectors like aviation, the land required to grow feedstocks for biofuels poses a significant challenge - especially for nations with limited space. Adding to the challenge, traditional waste management practices often involve landfilling waste, which not only consumes additional land but also results in methane emissions, further complicating our environmental goals. This brings us to a crucial point: How can we innovate our way out of this dilemma? At GIDARA Energy, we believe gasification is a key part of the solution. Unlike traditional biofuels, our HTW® (High-Temperature Winkler) gasification technology doesn’t compete for agricultural land. Instead, it transforms waste into valuable fuels and chemicals, offering a sustainable alternative that supports the circular economy through chemical production and reduces our reliance on fossil sources for fuel production. As we confront the complexities of the energy transition, it’s essential to consider alternative technologies that offer both environmental and economic benefits. We invite you to explore this thought-provoking discussion on Bloomberg, which offers a deep dive into the intersection of land use, energy, and sustainability: https://lnkd.in/dayTYjnS

Looking forward to meeting you at the Global Syngas Technologies Council Conference!

HTW® gasification technology represents a proven approach to utilizing solid waste and biomass materials as valuable feedstocks. Over 30 years of intensive R&D have propelled this innovation from concept to industrial reality, with landmark facilities like the Oulu plant in Finland gasifying peat and sawdust and the Niihama plant in Japan converting MSW into power. Notably, the Berrenrath plant in Germany has operated for over 12 years, processing RDF and other wastes for methanol production, serving as a premier reference for HTW® gasification technology. The gasification of solid waste materials has always been the focus of the HTW® development program. Our testing and demonstration plants have rigorously tested various solid residues—from biomass to plastic waste —accumulating extensive experimental and process data. This robust foundation demonstrates HTW®'s capability to achieve high process efficiency across challenging feedstocks. Our goal extends beyond technological advancement; it's about sustainability and unlocking the value of waste. By pioneering the gasification of waste and biomass feedstocks, HTW® technology plays a pivotal role in reducing environmental impact while promoting resource efficiency. Stay tuned to discover how we continue to push boundaries, turning challenges into opportunities and setting new standards in sustainable energy solutions with our HTW® gasification technology.

Continuing our exploration of HTW® gasification technology, we highlight the remarkable benefits of using pelletized waste feedstock. This method not only enhances the efficiency and reliability of our gasifiers but also reinforces our commitment to sustainable and innovative energy solutions. 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 & 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐞: Pelletized feedstock increases bulk density, enabling our plants to achieve higher capacity with less volume. For example, pelletized RDF/SRF material sees a density increase from 100kg/m³ to 450-500kg/m³, while wood pellets rise from 250kg/m³ to 700-800kg/m³. This leads to more efficient solid handling and up to five times more throughput for RDF/SRF and up to three times for wood waste. 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Pellets are easier to handle than powder materials, reducing blockages and downtime. This ensures smoother and more reliable plant operations. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰: Using pelletized feedstock ensures consistent feeding, minimizing flow-related issues and enhancing production consistency and availability. 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Pellets are less sensitive to variations in material type, allowing for a flexible design of the solid handling system that accommodates a wide range of feedstocks. We’re proud to integrate these advancements into our HTW® gasification process, underscoring our dedication to innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence. 💡 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲?

At GIDARA Energy, our commitment to innovation drives us to continually refine our processes and technologies. We're excited to share some valuable insights from the Berrenrath facility operations during the 90s, which have significantly improved our HTW® gasification technology. One major challenge in gasification is maintaining the raw gas cooler's efficiency and reliability. At Berrenrath, understanding feedstock ash properties helped to design more effective cooling systems, while optimizing grain size minimized clogging and improved gas flow. Monitoring the ash fusion point prevented blockages and enhancing cooler tube design improved performance. Initially, the plant used a wet scrubber for solids removal, leading to blockages and shutdowns. Installing a hot gas filter downstream of the raw gas cooler achieved thousands of hours of uninterrupted operation, drastically improving plant availability and reliability. Slag build-up and nozzle damage were significant issues during earlier HTW® development. At Berrenrath, a revolutionary nozzle design was introduced for the injection of gasification agents into the gasifier. By innovating the nozzle design, slag build-up was prevented, which ensured smooth gasifier operation while reducing wear and enhancing performance. These advancements not only solved previous issues but also set new standards for gasifier performance and longevity. What other innovations do you think could further enhance gasification technology? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! Stay tuned for our next post on the benefits of using pelletized material as feedstock in our gasification process.
