Leveraging Direct Air Capture (DAC) for Targeted Microbial Fermentation

Harnessing PEGASUS: Revolutionizing Carbon Recycling with TITAN and ASMARA

In the ongoing battle against climate change, innovative solutions are essential to combat the rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Enter PEGASUS, a groundbreaking plugin on the TITAN and ASMARA platforms, poised to revolutionise carbon recycling and waste valorisation on a single integrated platform. Let’s delve into the formula for success behind this transformative technology.

TITAN: A Pillar of Sustainability in Rural Landscapes

In rural landscapes, TITAN stands tall as a beacon of sustainability, leveraging forest and agricultural residues to produce hydrogen-producers’ gas. This gas not only powers TITAN’s base-load electricity production but also serves as the feedstock necessary to ferment a diverse array of targeted outcomes through microbial fermentation. By harnessing the abundant resources of rural areas, TITAN drives economic growth while minimising environmental impact.

ASMARA: Transforming Urban Environments

Meanwhile, in urban landscapes, ASMARA takes center stage, converting municipal solid waste (MSW) into hydrogen producer gas. This gas fuels ASMARA’s operations and provides the essential feedstock for microbial fermentation, turning urban waste into valuable resources. ASMARA’s presence in urban areas addresses the pressing need for sustainable waste management solutions, reducing landfill usage and promoting circular economy principles.

The Role of DAC: A Crucial Component in Carbon Neutrality

In the face of escalating CO2 emissions, Direct Air Capture (DAC) emerges as an indispensable technology. DAC removes CO2 directly from the atmosphere, offering a pathway to carbon neutrality and climate stabilization. As the world grapples with the inevitability of DAC adoption, the integration of PEGASUS on the TITAN and ASMARA platforms reinforces the platform’s commitment to carbon recycling and waste valorization.

Why we need be concerned for LOT, not CPK

Rafał M. Socha

Friday 26 January, Warsaw Poland.

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.

Syngas Project’s TITAN: A Catalyst for Renewable Energy and Circular Economy Transformation

Warsaw 12 October 2023

In the heart of Poland, the Syngas Project, a subsidiary of London-based SOLIDEA Group Ltd, stands as a pioneering force in sustainable energy with its groundbreaking TITAN project. This short article delves into the evolution and impact of the Syngas Project, highlighting the transformative journey from the PowerCan project to the development of TITAN.

The PowerCan Project and TITAN’s Genesis:

The roots of the Syngas Project trace back to the PowerCan project at RUMIA shipyards in Gdynia in 2017, Poland. From these beginnings, the team embarked on the ambitious mission to create TITAN, initially conceived as a “Cookie Cutter” 20MW midsized, distributed, utility-scale modular Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant with two production islands. Notably, in 2019, Island Two underwent a remarkable transformation into a Microbial Fermentation Unit, showcasing the project’s adaptability and commitment to cutting-edge technologies.

In April 2023, the European Union approved the ReFuelEU Aviation proposal which imposes blending mandates on synthetic fuels for aviation, increasing from 0.7% in 2030 to 28% in 2050.

Renewable Electricity and Biofuel Production:

Island One of TITAN continues to serve as a CHP plant, providing renewable electricity on demand. This sustainable power is not only utilised to fuel TITAN’s operations but also exported, contributing to the broader energy landscape. TITAN’s capability to produce spare renewable electricity on Island One mitigates feedstock risk through “reach and cache” policies implemented to capitalise on severe weather and seemingly more common 100-year adverse climate events which could risk the short-term availability of feedstock in future.

Simultaneously, Island Two boasts the daily production of 60,000 litres of 2G EtOH (Ethanol) through microbial fermentation and adding a significant renewable fuel source to the market. Syngas Project’s strategy is to build 12 TITAN in Poland, enough 2G EtOH (Ethanol) to supply Syngas Project’s own SAF Refinery. A local SAF refinery in Poland would establish Polish Airports as the most desirable hubs in Europe for local and intercontinental carriers feeding passengers in and out of Europe and from Europe’s dead centre, SAF being the main catalyst for success.

How Dark Hydrogen became the New Green

The “new green hydrogen” is “dark bio-hydrogen”, so called after the dark fermentation bio-manufacturing process which creates it green because its manufacture and existence are entirely organic, renewable and waterless.

60 years on from JFK moonshot speech

One small step ahead of carbon capture and storage CCS replacing it instead with capture and transformation CCT, thus taking the capture and recycling of waste carbon to the next level is a giant leap for mankind. 60 years on from JFK’s moonshot speech and on its anniversary Joe Biden announced the cure for cancer is the new moonshot and its through bio-technology transformation that will get us there.

TITAN and ASMARA incorporate two technologies on one platform, waste to hydrogen producer gas + microbial fermentation to manufacture fuel, chemical and material products. CCT is a well-proven process for recycling both the carbon at the smoke stack, in the waste we produce and in the waste we throw away as it is for the carbon we have already produced. We are presented with a truly value-added proposition because recycling the carbon we already have obviates the need to dig up more carbon. Through converting solid waste into producer’s gas and CCT emission technology to recycle carbon in the producer’s gas through, microbial fermentation, we can reproduce all of the products we currently manufacture from oil and gas, where the likes of transport fuels, plastics and fertilisers are produced with far less environmental impact. In manufacturing, this great array of products as an added bonus, large quantities of waterless green hydrogen is recovered as a byproduct.        

Dark bio-hydrogen presents a disruptive edge to the idea of hydrogen as an energy carrier because it does not burden our ever-depleting water supply, instead, hydrogen is recovered from changing the state of organic feedstock through a proprietary, bio-manufacturing process where carbon-rich waste biomass or bio-waste is transformed from solid state to a gaseous state and as a feedstock for fermentation.
