Mr Hyde

We asked AI no. 5: “What Alternative Markets?”

Could the TITAN Platform’s versatility confront insulin injustice by increasing availability and lowering cost?

As we finalise the design for TITAN’s cutting-edge ethanol production, our focus extends beyond conventional energy solutions towards pioneering advancements in healthcare. With the potential to revolutionise the production of insulin, TITAN embodies a vision of innovation that transcends traditional boundaries.

The decision to explore insulin production stems from the alarming rise of diabetes, particularly in the United States and Europe. Diabetes has become an epidemic, with its prevalence mirroring the exponential growth of obesity rates. In the U.S. alone, nearly 10 per cent of the population suffers from diabetes, while another 12 per cent are at high risk due to factors like obesity.

This epidemic imposes significant financial and human costs, with healthcare expenditures related to diabetes reaching billions annually. Moreover, poorly managed diabetes leads to severe complications such as kidney disease, heart disease, and blindness, further exacerbating the crisis.

Unlocking the Future: Syngas Project’s TITAN and the Evolution of Sustainable Bioeconomy

Steve Walker Warsaw 27:11:2023

In the heart of Poland, Syngas Project, in collaboration with technical partners and innovators, is embarking on a groundbreaking journey, tendering the first of twelve TITAN installations poised to revolutionize the utilization of forest waste. This endeavour is not just about energy production but the orchestration of a holistic supply chain, strategically designed to yield more than 500,000 litres per day of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Biodiesel through the Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) pathway. The vision extends beyond conventional paradigms, with a keen focus on next-generation outcomes propelled by cutting-edge technologies like CRISPR.

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.

Setting the Stage: TITAN’s Forest Waste Transformation

TITAN, the cornerstone of Syngas Project’s innovative portfolio, is not merely a waste-to-energy solution; it is a catalyst for systemic change. The first twelve TITAN installations are strategically positioned to convert forest waste, addressing the environmental challenge of residues from clear-cut logging activities. By harnessing this otherwise underutilized resource, TITAN is poised to deliver a daily output of 2nd generation ethanol (2G EtOH), laying the foundation for a sustainable supply chain.

Supply Chain Dynamics: From Forest Waste to SAF and Biodiesel

The supply chain orchestrated by Syngas Project and its technical partners is a symphony of efficiency and sustainability. As TITAN transforms forest waste into 2G EtOH, this high-value bioethanol becomes a precursor for the production of SAF and Biodiesel. The Alcohol-to-Jet pathway, a proven and eco-friendly method, unlocks the potential to cater to the aviation industry’s growing demand for sustainable alternatives. The envisioned daily output of more than 500,000 litres is a testament to the scalability and impact of TITAN in shaping the renewable energy landscape.

Beyond Conventional Boundaries: CRISPR and Next-Generation Outcomes

In the quest for sustainability, Syngas Project’s technical partners and innovators stand at the forefront of innovation, utilizing advanced tools like CRISPR to engineer microbes for multiple high-yield outcomes. Bacteria, yeast, and other microorganisms, traditionally associated with specific functions, are now being reprogrammed to serve a broader purpose. This groundbreaking approach allows for the customization of microbial behavior, opening avenues for the production of not only fuels but also chemicals and polymers.

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.

ASMARA Hydrogen Producers Gas to Microbial Fermentation the key to upcycling thermoplastics

Warsaw 7 July 2022

The SOLIDEA Groups ASMARA platform converts all waste plastics [except PVC] into new biodegradable plastics. So-called PHA-derived plastics have the same characteristics as oil-derived thermo-plastics however as well as being 100% biodegradable PHA’s are biocompatible. To date, these plastics have been critical in the development of many medical procedures though traditionally expensive to produce.

The ASMARA platform marries two technologies a waste-to-energy plant and a bio-refinery at scale into one cookie-cutter project. The technology at the front of the process is Microbial Fermentation where a carbon-rich Hydrogen Producer Gas is forced into a tank of billions of microbes. This Microbial Fermentation process multiplies, fattens and then terminates the life of the microbes so they can be harvested to recreate a range of chemicals, fuels and materials that we use every day.

The waste-to-energy technology at the back end of the process converts solid waste streams into a Hydrogen producer’s Gas. A well demonstrated tried and tested thermo-chemical process which turns solids into gas in the absence of oxygen. There is no smoke because no burning occurs [because there is no oxygen] which is just as well because there is no smokestack or chimney for such emissions.

Hydrogen Producers Gas is created in a slightly negative pressure environment it is rich in hydrogen [H2] and carbon monoxide [CO] and these elements are suspended in nitrogen [N] together with lesser amounts of carbon dioxide [CO2] and a little methane [CH4].

The ASMARA Hydrogen Producers Gas to PHA process

ASMARA like its cousin TITAN are platforms on which to convert abundant and or problematic organic waste into Hydrogen Producer Gas. Since we are converting waste into new materials the process is recycling however since we are producing far superior added-value materials we believe we are upcycling.

ASMARA converts problematic sorted Municipal Solid Waste [MSW] such as plastic together with household waste whilst TITAN convert abundant forest floor residues. Both platforms support different outcomes including [i] Combined Heat and Power [CHP] [ii] Gas to Liquid [GTL] tanking fuels via the fermentation of Polyhydroxyalkanoates [PHA] which produce ethanol or [iii] Bioplastics “nature-like” polymers which can be rolled to make films, extruded to make bottles and profiles or moulded to make components just like typical fossil fuel sourced thermo-plastics.
