Equinor Mongstad Industrial Transformation (MIT) project has selected GIDARA Energy’s HTW® (High Temperature Winkler) technology to be part of a feasibility study. Aker Solutions (AKSO), the leading provider of engineering and construction services, has chosen GIDARA Energy to showcase their in-house HTW® Gasification unit, which is designed to convert solid waste feedstock into clean syngas.
The study aims to convert solid waste and RDF into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The process includes pre-treating waste through drying and storing, as well as cleaning and treating the raw syngas. GIDARA Energy’s clean syngas will then 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 specializes in converting waste feedstocks into sustainable fuels and circular chemicals using patented technologies. Their 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’s HTW® technology offers an innovative solution for converting solid waste into valuable products while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. With Aker Solutions’ support, this technology could play a crucial role in advancing sustainable aviation fuel production while addressing pressing environmental challenges.
In conclusion, the partnership between GIDARA Energy and Aker Solutions has the potential to revolutionize the aviation industry by providing a cost-effective solution for converting solid waste into sustainable aviation fuel while reducing carbon emissions. The feasibility study for the Equinor Mongstad Industrial Transformation (MIT) project represents an exciting opportunity for both companies to contribute towards a more sustainable future.
