Problem
Municipalities and industries generate large volumes of mixed waste that often end up in landfills, releasing methane—a greenhouse gas 24 times more potent than CO₂—and causing air pollution from traditional incineration. This creates environmental health risks, lost energy potential, and challenges in meeting net‑zero targets.
Solution
Panorax Energy offers modular, smokeless waste‑to‑energy (WTE) plants that thermally convert mixed municipal solid waste, plastics, tires, biomass, and PFAS into clean electricity without visible emissions. Their high‑temperature Universal Waste Jet Reactor achieves complete combustion, producing only CO₂, nitrogen, and steam, and meets or exceeds EPA and EU emission standards. The generated heat drives high‑efficiency steam turbines delivering up to 5 MW per module, while the process reduces waste volume by up to 90 % and eliminates methane emissions at the source. In addition to power, the technology extracts syngas for hydrogen production and synthesizes green ammonia fertilizer, creating a dual‑revenue circular economy. Plants are fully modular, scalable from 1 MW to 5 MW, and can be deployed in 8–12 months, allowing communities to start small and expand as demand grows.
Target Audience
Primary customers are municipal governments, waste management authorities, and industrial operators seeking local, low‑emission power generation and waste reduction solutions.
