Technology Brief The technological key ingredient of the process chain is a thermal conversion process turning waste materials into syngas which in turn can be converted into a variety of energy carriers such as green fuels, green gas, and green hydrogen. If the feedstock is renewably sourced (wood, wood waste, sewage sludge, biogenic waste, etc.), the final products are equally 100% renewable. Non-renewable residues such as non-recyclable plastics can also be processed. While less sustainable than the carbon from renewable feedstock, the carbon from non-renewable feedstock would be upcycled for multiple usage-cycles, similar to the system of paper recycling. The gasification technology is highly flexible, enabling the production of a broad range of potential end products: not only can it be used to produce sustainable fuels for transport sectors in which batteries are generally unsuitable (e.g. agriculture, long haul transport, aviation), but the same technology can also be used to produce green gas for the natural gas grid, or green hydrogen for future mobility solutions and industrial applications.  
Additional Information The Waste2Value project is driving the use of waste residues to produce hydrogen-rich syngas. The project focuses on waste fuels such as sewage sludge, residues from the pulp and paper industry, and mixtures with waste wood. In a second process step, the syngas is synthesized into liquid fuel (high quality diesel and kerosene). The current stage of the project runs to 2023 and covers construction and start-up of the pilot facility to gain the relevant operational experience.
