| Technology Brief |
The technology allows the valorisation of low grade biomass and waste into high value end products in a compact, cheap, low emission and modular configuration.
Our unique differentiator, compared to inferior incumbent technologies, is our capability to convert a large range of waste feedstocks into a versatile energy product – a clean, pressurized gas vector with high Hydrogen content.
Our process is true Gasification, which is more versatile than down draft gasification and far less energy hungry than Plasma technology.
The patent protected process exclusive to KEW can be used at high efficiency for multiple end-uses. The compact nature of the technology also allows it to be integrated into future smart infrastructure systems, and fixed and mobile charging platforms for plug in electric vehicles.
