From prototype to commercialisation in 8 years.
It began in 2018 with a live demonstration on CNN Business. What followed was eight years of development and execution: solving the problems that stopped every machine before ours, and turning a lab prototype into a machine partners can build.
Where it started: the CNN Business demonstration
Cométha, Paris: our gasification on real waste
Eight years. Development, execution, and the challenges we overcame.
A test gasifier in the lab in Zittau, built to solve the ash problem that stopped every machine before it.
Testing with Fraunhofer IKTS, Hochschule Zittau/Görlitz and Kraftwerk Group, including gasification to solid oxide fuel cells.
From the lab to real feedstocks: straw, natural fibre, sludge and island waste, with partners from Germany to Bali.
One frozen design, the X-150, built and serviced by certified partners worldwide.
Legacy films.
Gas from waste running a solid oxide fuel cell, tested with Fraunhofer IKTS.
The Paris project with Fraunhofer, where our gasification was demonstrated on municipal waste, horse manure and sewage sludge. Video by Fraunhofer IGB (German).
