Biomass/waste gasification

High-temperature, oxygen-limited thermochemical conversion of municipal solid waste, wood residue or biomass into synthesis gas ahead of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.

Where it's used

Gasification & Fischer-Tropsch sustainable aviation fuel
Municipal solid waste, forestry residue and captured biogas are gasified into syngas and built up into jet-range hydrocarbons via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis — a thermochemical pathway distinct from the HEFA and alcohol-to-jet routes that dominate today's certified SAF supply, with 2026 commercial-stage projects in the UK, South Africa-licensed technology and a first US biogas-to-jet pilot.
