- Apr 2024 EXPANDER TECHNOLOGIES INC. RECEIVES FIRST BIOMASS GASIFIER ORDER FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LOW CARBON, RENEWABLE FUELS April 22, 2024
đ Exciting News from Expander Technologies Inc. đ "We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone for our company and for sustainable energy! We've just received our first order for a cutting-edge, tar-free gasifier. This revolutionary technology will be pivotal in the production of low-carbon, renewable fuels, marking a crucial step forward in our commitment to environmental sustainability. This achievement is not just a win for us but for the entire world. Our tar-free gasifier represents the future of energy â cleaner, greener, and more sustainable. Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this exciting journey."
NEWS RELEASE: Expander Technologies Inc. (ETI) has received its first order for a Biomass Gasifier from Cielo Waste Solutions Ltd. (CIELO). The Biomass Gasifier will be manufactured under license from Expander Energy. The innovative patented design produces clean, tar-free synthesis gas (syn-gas) from various cellulosic feedstocks such as forestry waste, agricultural waste, urban wood-waste, and municipal sludge. When combined with Expander's Enhanced Biomass to Liquids (EBTLâ˘) process, the high-quality syn-gas will be used to produce low carbon intensity Renewable Diesel (Bio-SynDieselÂŽ) and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Bio-SynJetÂŽ. The gasifier technology has a proven track record in Europe for producing green power from woody biomass feedstock, demonstrating exceptional operating efficiencies.
The first order for Expander Technologies will involve constructing a gasifier for CIELOâs recently announced Bio-SynDieselÂŽ project in Carseland, Alberta. The project will produce 8 million liters/year of renewable Bio-Synthetic Diesel fuel, with an estimated Carbon Intensity (CI) of 32.5 gCO2e/MJ. This significantly exceeds Canada's Clean Fuel Standard requirement for diesel fuel of 79.0 gCO2e/MJ by 2030. Production is expected to begin in 2026. ... Read More
