A permitted System WTE Gasification System In California

IES provides the first commercially permitted system in California. California has some of the strictest emission targets in the United States. Yet another example of Gasification being adopted in the United States

A couple of other Examples of Proven Gasification Projects Using MSW as the Initial Feedstock


Japan has 7 commercial waste gasification systems in production, the earliest of which dates back to 1992.

Learning from Environmentally Progressive Countries

Energos has been installing Gasification Waste-to-Energy Plants (WTE or W2E) at an accelerating pace, but most importantly they have been doing it in some of the most environmentally sensitive parts of the world such as Norway. Perhaps we can learn from their progressive environmental work here in the US.






An example of two more North American Commercial Gasification Projects


TRI has a process that makes sense on larger sites. They have commercialized the gasification technology with two sites in production. DOE has been interested enough to provide them with significant funding. This is a company to watch.

Another Approach Towards Gasification


This smaller scale approach is yet another entrant into the development of gasification in the United States. There are enough projects being proposed, through enough environmental entrepreneurs who see the promise of bringing this technology to the challenge of the emissions created through landfilling.

Edwards Air Force Base to Gasify Waste


Another Company Advancing Gasification in the United States


Who knows if this will be one of the winning companies in the race to find a cleaner alternative to landfilling. Its great to see the American spirit of enterprise finding technology solutions to our environmental problems.

Chinook Energy claims they have units in production in the industrial sector.

This is a company worth watching

Middlebury Gasifcation Project

I'm not a fan of either a cyclone or baghouse because there are better back-end technologies. However Middlebury is known as a progressive institution and their work on gasification is valuable to the development of this industry
