by installing a meva energy gasification plant at their biggest production site, ikea industry is shaping the future of furniture production
WE PRODUCE ELECTRICITY AND HEAT FROM YOUR PRODUCTION WASTE
Meva Energy’s thermochemical technology converts biogenic waste streams such as sawdust and residual fiber from MDF and chipboard production into renewable, green biosyngas. The gas can then be used to run a power plant or replace fossil gas in an industrial application. The system also produces biochar, a stable form of carbon that can be for example be used for soil improvement, thereby creating a carbon sink in the soil.
ADDITIONAL VALUE WITH BIOCHAR
As a result of pure biomass gasification, high quality biochar is generated as a sidestream. Biochar can be utilized as a carbon sink, providing an opportunity to significantly reduce your carbon footprint. According to our latest LCA study, utilizing biochar can result in negative emissions, making your operations carbon-negative. Additionally, the biochar holds market value and can be sold as a product for various applications, turning an environmental benefit into a new revenue stream. By integrating biochar, you not only contribute to sustainability but also get an economic potential, enhancing the overall value of your project.

Fighting EMISSIONS
Renewable energy solution with negative emissions potential
Energy allocation
Carbon sequestration
Meva Energy provides a gasification technology that can play an important role in the manufacturing industry’s shift towards renewable energy production. This technology utilizes locally generated biogenic waste streams from the manufacturing industry, converting low-quality biomass into high-quality biogas. By adopting this approach, the industry can mitigate climate change and significantly reduce fossil greenhouse gas emissions and customer’s carbon footprint. By the combined biogas and biochar production, the technology has the potential to go beyond zero and reach negative emissions.

what is biomass gasification?
Biomass gasification is a well-known thermochemical process for conversion of biomass into a biogas, consisting of mainly CO, H2, CO2, CH4 and N2. The resulting biogas can be used as a clean and efficient energy source, providing a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels.
