The startup develops waste-to-X projects that convert various waste streams into ultra-clean syngas and bio-methanol using low-cost gasification technology with high-purity hydrogen and carbon dioxide. This process addresses the need for sustainable fuel alternatives while minimizing waste disposal costs.

Problem
The waste management industry faces the challenge of sustainably handling non-recyclable waste streams, often resorting to incineration or landfills, which have negative environmental impacts. There is a need for cost-effective technologies that can convert these waste materials into valuable resources, contributing to a circular economy and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Solution
ETGAS provides waste-to-X solutions that convert solid waste, including SRF, RDF, and sludge, into syngas, hydrogen, and bio-methanol through thermochemical recycling. Their plants, which they build, own, and operate, are located near the waste source or customer site. ETGAS uses a proprietary gasification technology to process waste, producing clean, renewable energy and chemical building blocks while diverting waste from incineration and landfills. Customers benefit from low-carbon products without the capital expenditure or operational risks, paying only for the syngas, hot water, or steam they receive.
Target Audience
ETGAS targets the waste management industry, specifically companies seeking to add value to the waste they manage by converting it into low-carbon energy, advanced biofuels, and circular chemicals, as well as industries that can utilize green gas to replace natural gas in their processes.
