The X-150 is engineered for mixed multi-fuel operation — converting agricultural residues, municipal waste, industrial by-products, and woody biomass into clean syngas. Over 11 feedstocks tested and validated.
Most gasification systems are designed for a single, homogeneous fuel — typically clean wood chips. The moment you introduce moisture variation, mixed composition, or non-standard feedstocks, they fail.
The X-150 was designed from the ground up for real-world waste streams. AI-assisted process control continuously adapts air flow, temperature zones, and residence time to handle whatever you feed it — from dry coconut shells to wet sewage sludge.
Every fuel listed below has been physically tested in the X-150 gasification system. Fuels marked with the COMETHA badge were tested during the Paris COMETHA project.
Crop residues and agricultural by-products that are abundant, renewable, and often left unused or burned in open fields — creating both a waste problem and an energy opportunity.
Cereal straw (wheat, barley, rye) — one of the most abundant agricultural residues in Europe. Successfully gasified in collaboration with Hochschule Zittau-Görlitz.
Palm oil processing waste — a massive feedstock in Southeast Asia. Over 20 million tonnes produced annually in Indonesia and Malaysia alone.
Hard, dense biomass with excellent gasification properties. High fixed carbon content produces a clean, energy-rich syngas.
The solid fraction remaining after anaerobic digestion. Typically landfilled or spread on fields — the X-150 converts it into additional energy, closing the loop.
Everyday waste streams from cities and communities that would otherwise go to landfill or incineration — turned into clean energy at the point of generation.
Mixed household and commercial waste. The X-150's multi-fuel capability handles the heterogeneous composition that defeats single-fuel systems.
Dewatered residue from wastewater treatment. A growing disposal challenge for municipalities — the X-150 converts it into energy while reducing volume by over 90%.
By-products from manufacturing and processing industries that carry significant disposal costs — converting a liability into an energy asset.
Non-recyclable plastic fractions that cannot enter mechanical recycling streams. Gasification recovers the embedded energy without producing dioxins.
MDF, HDF, and particle board waste from furniture manufacturing and construction demolition. Contains resins and adhesives that make conventional recycling impossible.
Equestrian facility waste mixed with bedding material. A consistent, year-round feedstock in regions with significant equestrian activity.
Traditional and well-understood gasification feedstocks that serve as the baseline reference for X-150 performance calibration.
The standard reference fuel for downdraft gasification. Consistent particle size and moisture content make it ideal for system calibration and baseline testing.
Treated and untreated wood from construction, demolition, and industrial sources. Categories A1–A4 depending on contamination level.
In February 2021, researchers at the Institute for Process Technology (IPM) at Hochschule Zittau/Görlitz published their findings on straw gasification — part of the HORA project (Hochtemperaturkonversion von Rest- und Abfallstoffen für Energiedienstleistungen), funded by the Sächsische Aufbaubank (SAB).
The research team — led by Schneider, Grusla, Hofmeister, Pohl, and Zschunke — demonstrated that cereal straw, one of Europe's most abundant agricultural residues, can be effectively gasified in downdraft systems. This is significant because straw has historically been considered a difficult feedstock due to its high ash content, low bulk density, and tendency to form clinkers at high temperatures.
Their work validated that with proper air staging and temperature control — capabilities built into the X-150's AI-assisted process management — straw becomes a viable, high-volume feedstock for decentralized energy generation. For regions where straw is routinely burned in open fields (contributing to air pollution and CO₂ emissions), this represents a direct path from waste to clean energy.

During the EU-funded COMETHA project, the X-150 was tested with 8 different fuel types in real-world conditions — validating multi-fuel operation and establishing performance baselines for each feedstock.
All fuels tested under controlled conditions with documented syngas composition, tar levels, and system efficiency metrics.
