Bio360: hydrothermal gasification is the future for treating waste.

Earlier this month, Frédéric Juillard, CEO and Co-Founder of TreaTech, attended Bio360 Expo and participated in a roundtable discussion around the impact?#hydrothermalgasification?technology is having across the waste sector.

Reflecting on the discussion, Frédéric stated “It was a great to be part of the Bio360 Expo event and it is extremely encouraging to see the growing support for the development of circular waste treatment solutions. Catalytic hydrothermal gasification sits at the heart of TreaTech’s waste treatment solution as it is the most sustainable and cost-efficient way to convert a broad range of waste streams that are usually incinerated into integral resources.

Proper waste management offers a huge opportunity to all industries and should be treated as a climate change solution. Our focus at TreaTech has always been to reduce the environmental footprint of waste treatment solutions, while also obtaining maximum value from the waste products.

Our technology is designed to recover a constant supply of methane-rich renewable gas that can be injected into the grid network, stored, or used to produce electricity at our customers’ sites. We have proven this through our pilot projects, which were able to transform up to 99.99% of some of our client’s chemical waste products into clean, methane-rich gas and CO2 without leaving the production site.

In addition, we also support the circular economy as we can extract minerals from waste outputs that can be used for fertiliser such as phosphorous, nitrogen and potassium, as well as re-capture fresh water from the treatment process, which can be used for further industrial and consumer use.”

Frédéric is also part of the National Hydrothermal Gasification Working Group which, at this same event, published a first of its kind #whitepaper that details the current use of this innovative and sustainable waste treatment solution across Europe. The paper profiles how TreaTech has developed a circular waste technology using innovative catalytic hydrothermal gasification prototype, and showcases how we are championing the successful execution of this new waste treatment solution.

The whitepaper also includes a list of the accessible waste sources that can be treated through hydrothermal gasification, many of which we have successfully tested including industrial, municipal and agricultural waste streams. The working group’s research estimated that all these identified waste deposits could generate more than 50 TWh of energy from renewable or low-carbon gas per year by 2050.
