In our project DC-24: Direct Conversion, we are setting up a joint R&D effort to explore commercial C2+ gasification by expanding process routes to convert complex municipal waste streams to C2+ monomers or liquids.
Competitiveness of recovered waste is still a challenge due to complex processes and large capital requirements. Advancements in process technology make it possible to gasify directly to C2+ molecules, lowering costs.
However, the technology is still not available and needs further research to explore and identify a viable proof-of-concept for gasification. This project aims to address these challenges by investing in continued focused research.
GLOBAL IMPACT TOPIC: Alternative Carbon Sources
PAIN POINTS:
Technology and proof of concept not yet available
UNLOCK LEVERS:
Joint R&D effort to develop commercial C2+ gasification using GIC’s collective technical skills with expert research skills
Complex value chains and variability of waste material
GIC can leverage critical knowledge on purities, volumes, as well as product distribution and customer landscapes
