Revolutionizing the Waste-to-Fuel Sector: GIDARA Energy’s HTW® Technology Tapped for Feasibility Study on Equinor Mongstad Project

GIDARA Energy’s HTW® (High Temperature Winkler) technology has been chosen by Aker Solutions (AKSO) for a feasibility study on the Equinor Mongstad Industrial Transformation (MIT) project, which aims 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 a clean syngas. The process involves pre-treating waste through drying and storing, as well as cleaning and treating the raw syngas.

GIDARA Energy CEO Dr. Norbert Kamp expressed his 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. The company 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.
