The “Gasplasma Process”:
Is a patented two-stage thermal treatment of materials, allowing for the phase-transformation of materials in a fully-controlled environment;
Produces an end product that is a clean syngas that can be used directly for industrial use of heat or for generation of electricity;
Is highly efficient, with over 80% calorific capture, substantial net producer of energy, and with a documented negative carbon footprint;
Allows for the further production (from syngas) of engineered fuels such as synthetic methane, biodiesel, and synthetic jet-fuel. to be cost-efficiently produced in a gas-to-liquids transformation.
These “Gasplasma Fuels” belong to a new class of a super-clean engineered fuels, the common base of which is a high-quality syngas, generated cost-effectively and standardized to the required specification. Gasplasma fuels can be produced to performance parity with fossil fuels. The primary input can be from any type of carbonaceous materials, solid, liquid and gaseous.

Gasplasma® How Clean is the Syngas?
SOFCpower CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
1. Convertire i rifiuti residui da raccolta differenziata, in Syngas, senza emissioni in atmosfera, in spazio chiuso.
2. Condizionare il Syngas per ottenere un combustibile di qualita’ adatta al funzionamento delle SOFC;
3. Installare dei generatori SOFC da 100 kW basati sulla tecnologia SOFCpower;
4. Realizzare un impianto di conversione del Syngas in metano (SNG) o in Idrogeno. In entrambi i casi tali combustibili possono essere utilizzati per autotrazione
