What is Downdraft Gasification

Gasification is a process that uses a feedstock, often municipal, commercial or industrial waste, for a thermo chemical conversion of waste using high heat. This is done is a low oxygen, also known as…

Reduces Landfill Fees & Handling Costs

Landfills remain as the most common way to dispose of municipal and industrial waste. While the recycling rate of some forms of waste has steadily increased, so has overall volumes in general. In Australia…

Electric Power Generation

As organic materials like wood and sewage sludge are gasified, the chemical process creates a clean syngas, a fuel that can then be used like natural gas. Compared to other waste-to-energy methods like…

Lowers CO2 and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Gasification can be one of the tools used in our shift to a lower carbon economy. In particular, the gasification process releases no GHGs as landfilling and incineration of waste do. When trash/waste…

No Burning or Incineration

Gasification can be one of the tools used in our shift to a lower carbon economy. In particular, the gasification process releases no GHGs as landfilling and incineration of waste do. When trash/waste…

Byproduct is a Valuable High-Carbon Biochar

Another benefit of gasification is that it outputs two usable materials. The first, clean syngas mentioned earlier. The second, a “high-carbon biochar.” In a downdraft gasification process, such as…

About Downdraft Gasification

If you are new to the waste conversion using downdraft gasification or just looking to brush up on your knowledge, here are some of the more critical things to know about waste conversion via gasification. Keep in mind that all material contains a degree of latent energy, how we capture that energy and convert it is critical.
