OUR TECHNOLOGY
BIOMASS GASIFICATION PROCESS

Meva Energy’s vision is to enable a fossil-free manufacturing industry, where biomass residues and biowaste is converted into biogas (biosyngas) to replace fossil fuels. Our biomass gasification process is characterized by having a high efficiency, ensuring that no biomass resources are wasted and no fossil fuel emissions are created. This is how we turn biomass into biosyngas:

From biomass residue

By gasification

To energy

Industries that process solid biomass such as wood also generate large amounts of fine fraction biomass residues. We utilize this waste as a resource, turning it into biogas energy.

The biomass fractions are heated in an oxygen-limited environment, a process known as thermochemical gasification. The biomass gasification process converts solid biomass into a clean, energy-rich gas called Biosyngas, primarily composed of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane. In parallel, the process produces biochar, a stable, carbon-rich by-product.

The gas is used directly by our customers to replace fossil gas in industrial processes. It can also be converted into electricity or combined heat and power (CHP) via a generator. The biochar serves as a soil enhancer, a permanent carbon sink, a fossil carbon substitute in metallurgical applications, and many other applications.

Biomass: a reliable energy stream from nature

The biomass gasification process is a circular energy technology that transforms organic residues from agriculture, industry, and forestry into clean energy. These biomass feedstocks are part of natural and industrial cycles continuously generated, collected, and reused, creating a closed-loop system that minimizes waste and maximizes resource efficiency.

Because biomass is produced predictably throughout the year as part of these ongoing cycles, the supply is reliable and consistent. This makes biomass and biogas energy a dependable and cost-efficient source of renewable energy.

Going beyond zero emissions

The biomass gasification process produces two valuable products: biosyngas, a renewable gas that can replace fossil fuels, and biochar, a carbon-rich material that can be used to sequester carbon in soils. By efficiently converting organic waste into clean biogas energy and capturing carbon through biochar, with a biomass gasifier, you have the potential not only to achieve net-zero emissions but also to generate negative emissions, helping to reduce the overall concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Meva Energy offers its customers a technology to turn biomass into biogas, significantly reducing fossil greenhouse gas emissions and lowering the overall climate footprint of their industrial operations.

What is Biosyngas?

Biosyngas is a renewable biogas consisting of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H₂) and minimal methane. It offers a significantly lower climate impact compared to fossil alternatives like LPG, without compromising on quality. Biosyngas can replace traditional fossil fuels in many industrial processes, making it an efficient and sustainable solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while meeting energy demands.

OUR BIOMASS GASIFICATION PROCESS TURNS RESIDUE INTO A CLEAN AND STABLE FUEL

Entrained gasification for maximised efficiency

- The biomass gasifier reactor is the core of the Meva offering. Inside, high temperatures and an oxygen-deficient environment converts solid biomass into biosyngas based on the entrained flow principle
- Biomass particles are continuously fed into the hot reactor, ensuring a stable gas quality and supply with minimal variation
- The fine fraction feedstock's large surface area enables very high gas production per unit of feedstock volume
- This entails a quick biomass gasification process at high efficiency

Full allowance of feedstock

The system accepts larger biomass scrap, which is processed through a mill and/or dryer before being fed into the biomass gasifier reactor. Some feedstock, such as MDF and sawdust, meets the requirements without modification
Meva’s biomass gasification process has a feedstock limit of <2mm and full acceptance of fine fraction feedstock
Hence, the gasifier processing can be customised from the modular design foundation, in order to fit the customer’s biomass waste
The allowance of fine fraction feedstock is because of the small size of the reactor itself

"Meva’s technology offers a compelling pathway for industries to decarbonise without compromising on quality or cost"

Karl Nehammer, Vice-President responsible for energy at EIB

Our gasification plants are strategically located at our customer's site, where the energy is consumed.
