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.
