Waste wood recycling and gasification
The gasification of residual forestry waste, recycled waste wood, MSW and ligno-cellulosic crop wastes is an emerging pathway to producing liquid fuels. At the high temperatures and pressures in the gasifier, these feedstocks are converted into syngas, a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Subsequently, the syngas can be converted to methanol or synthetic Fischer Tropsch liquids such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The handling of these non-homogeneous, solid materials is critical to the successful operation of the gasifier to enable a viable recovery and chemical recycling (chemcycling) pathway.
