Problem
Many industrial and local entities face challenges in managing waste byproducts and reducing reliance on traditional, carbon-intensive energy sources. Effective waste management and decarbonization strategies are needed to meet environmental regulations and achieve energy independence.
Solution
Naoden provides compact bioenergetic power plants that utilize gasification technology to convert various types of wood waste and biomass into synthesis gas (syngas). This syngas is then processed to generate green electricity and heat, offering a low-emission alternative to fossil fuels. Naoden's solutions are modular and scalable, enabling clients to reduce energy costs, decarbonize their energy supply, and manage waste effectively through a circular economy model. The company offers two primary solutions: Nobilis, focused on heat production, and Imperium, which provides combined heat and power (CHP) generation.
Target Audience
Naoden's primary customers include industrial facilities, local authorities, agricultural businesses, eco-districts, hospitals, and remote sites seeking decentralized, decarbonized energy solutions and waste reduction.
Features
- Gasification process with low atmospheric emissions
- High-temperature filtration system using ceramic candles to remove particles from syngas
- Nobilis solution for heat production, recovering 300 kW per unit, suitable for cooking, drying, and steam generation
- Imperium solution for combined heat and power (CHP) generation, producing electricity and heat simultaneously, with a minimum recovered output of 2MW
- Capability to process various fuels, including Grade A and B wood, pellets, non-recovered industrial resources, green waste, and fruit stones
- Modular design allowing for flexible capacity expansion
- Dual-fuel burner design suitable for different thermal processes
- Development of new gas purification systems to reduce pollutants and increase the diversity of recoverable inputs
