Why we need be concerned for LOT, not CPK

Syngas Project has been at the forefront of innovation with the development of the TITAN platform in Poland for almost a decade; specifically tailored for the production of 2nd generation ethanol (2G EtOH), a vital intermediary for fuelling Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) refineries.

Despite the urgency of the situation, the groundbreaking TITAN platform finds itself still sitting on the sidelines, facing the challenge of not yet finalising the allocation of funding required to propel it through the final leg of the EPC tender. This step is crucial in making TITAN investment-ready and leading to groundbreaking, initiating a 25-year-plus construction roll-out. The financial hurdle currently faced by the project puts it in a state of uncertainty, which is particularly frustrating given the imminent 2% EU Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate scheduled for next year and the daunting 20% EU SAF mandate for 2030 looming on the horizon. TITAN’s potential to revolutionise SAF production in Poland and contribute to meeting these mandates makes the need for support and the release of funding even more pressing.

As the destiny of CPK teeters on the brink, the imperative to address LOT’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) requirements becomes increasingly urgent. With each passing moment of delay, the pressure mounts on an already precarious situation, akin to an inflated balloon atop the proposed 46 billion Euro bill for CPK. Time is of the essence, and failure to swiftly meet LOT’s SAF needs jeopardises not only the realisation of CPK’s vision but also risks losing an airline and leaving behind a significant financial burden. Swift action is essential to avert this outcome and ensure the sustainable future of aviation in Poland.

Ammonia Apocalypse: “Tackling Looming Crisis Amidst EU Farmer Strikes”

Syngas AI Series No. 2: Fixing the Ammonia Dilemma Amidst Geo-Political Turmoil

As global tensions rise with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the repercussions have extended beyond geopolitical borders, impacting the delicate balance of resource supply and demand. One significant casualty has been the supply of natural gas, a lifeline for many nations, particularly affecting the agricultural sector in Poland and its reliance on ammonia for food production. In this edition, we explore how the Syngas Project’s TITAN platform, coupled with microbial fermentation of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, can offer a sustainable solution to the ammonia dilemma.

The Struggle for Ammonia Supply

The conflict’s ripple effect has been felt keenly in Poland, where sanctions have constrained the supply of natural gas, subsequently affecting ammonia availability for farmers. Ammonia is a vital component for fertiliser production, crucial for sustaining scaled agricultural productivity and ensuring food security.

ASMARA: Unlocking Pandora’s Box for Municipal Waste

The problem with MSW is the three C’s: Comingled, Cogglomerated and Contaminated

Pandoras Box

In mythology, Pandora’s Box released the world’s evils. In the case of ASMARA, opening the box reveals something far more hopeful: the transformation of society’s most problematic waste streams into usable, nature-like resources. At its core, ASMARA is a hydrogen producer gas (HPG) and fermentation platform tailored for the complex challenge of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). It is TITAN’s urban twin—engineered for cities, built for resilience, and future-proofed for circularity.

The ASMARA Breakthrough: Turning Plastic Waste into Resource

Most cities today are drowning in non-recyclable plastic waste—films, containers, food packaging, multi-layer composites, and even rubber tires, often contaminated with paper labels or bonded with incompatible polymers. These conglomerates clog sorting lines, evade recycling plants, and are routinely landfilled or incinerated.

ASMARA turns this problem on its head.
