EQTEC vision

Where there is waste, there is a potential for clean energy.

EQTEC’s patented and proprietary technology cleanly converts the widest variety of waste types into syngas, an intermediate fuel enabling production of the widest range of bioenergy and biofuels, including renewable natural gas (RNG), hydrogen, liquid fuels including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other chemicals such as bioethanol and biomethanol.

The benefits

Make carbon efficient
Solve for waste
Distributed energy infrastructure

EQTEC technology is decarbonisation technology.
End-to-end, wholly contained, thermochemical conversion sees waste feedstocks broken down into their most useful elements and refined as synthesis gas (syngas). EQTEC`s unique process management capabilities make its process more efficient than alternatives and its syngas yield greater. EQTEC`s clean emissions profile makes it one of the most sustainable and productive cleantech technologies for new energy infrastructure.

EQTEC makes waste a source of clean value.
Even with the best re-use and recycling strategies in place, waste is expected to grow exponentially in the decades to come. Non-recyclable waste must come to be seen as a fuel for clean energy rather than as material to be disposed of and value lost. EQTEC`s proprietary process technology cleanly tackles the widest range and variability of waste types from agricultural and forestry biomass to municipal mixed waste, industrial waste, plastics, polymers and contaminated materials.

EQTEC technology enables new business models.
Collection, transport and centralisation of waste annually costs an enormous amount in terms of spend and carbon footprint. EQTEC`s ability to scale from 1MW to 30MW and beyond supports decarbonisation of large-scale facilities but also enables smaller-scale, local facilities without the need for transporting large volumes of waste. Collect waste locally and use it locally through clean conversion into energy with EQTEC technology. Localised solutions, energy security, grid resilience.

EQTEC plc and Group has evolved from the collaboration of chemical engineers and project developers to become a pure-play technology business focused on licensing and innovation.

EQTEC’s people have been innovating in gasification since 1997, with a range of patented and proprietary differentiators.

Cleantech innovation.
The Company’s chemical process engineers solved the notorious ‘tar problem’ well over a decade ago and nearly 20 years ago developed its kinetic model that recalculates complex reactions inside the gasifier every few microns, for a highly accurate sense-and-respond capability for modelling the gasification process during design, as well as for managing the gasification process throughout live operation of EQTEC-equipped plants.

Patented and proprietary.
The Company currently maintains four patents for its gasification process design and specific vessels deployed in that process. Further its, proprietary modelling and control systems are all programmed in house, ensuring that the process that EQTEC designs is the one that becomes live and operates consistently and effectively throughout the lifetime of its syngas plants. The Company anticipates pursuing several more patents in the near future, for more elements of its unique gasification capabilities and across multiple geographies.

Proven.
EQTEC has commissioned six plants since 2010, two of which are full, end to-end mini-plants for R&D, two of which were decommissioned and two of which are operational, commercial-scale plants. Two other plants are close to being commissioned and fully operational and several others are due to be operational within the coming years.
