Waste Management at a Crossroads
Gasification as Solution
Gasification may address the need forscalable, efficient, and sustainable solution for waste management
The alternative for the landfill and mass burn incineration to produce
Electricity and heat
Hydrogen
Synthetic fuels
Comparison of classical gasification vs. mass burn incineration
more thermally efficient (by 18%)
cleaner, with fewer air emissions
less expensive to build and operate
produce a low carbon, inert and non-leachable slag or vitreous frit
Limitations of the classical gasification
Waste Management at Crossroads
Feedstock Heterogeneity and
Pre-processing Challenges
Tar Formation and Syngas Contamination
Energy Inefficiency
High energy demands for preprocessing and syngas cleanup
Low calorific value of syngas, especially when processing organic-rich waste
Technology Scaling Challenges
Unreliable syngas production, equipment corrosion, and inability to meet emissions standards
Limited long-term operational data and mass/energy balance verification hinder performance optimization
Operational known failures to scale up, commercial scale proof lacking or struggle to achieve net-positive energy output to become viable
