The Solution

THE SOLUTION

Cortus has developed a solution for replacing fossil fuels where it is most needed. The solution is based on waste (non-food based biomass) gasification. The waste is converted into a renewable fuel that is used to lower the carbon footprint in climate intensive sectors like the steel industry and the transport sector.

The value added for customers to gasify biomass with Cortus technology are:

• Flexibility – enables long term supply of low-cost feedstock
• Efficiency – minimizing costs and energy demand
• Purity – clean renewable fuel ready to use!

Feedstock

Cortus technology is unique due to its feedstock flexibility. This makes the technology unsensitive to price fluctuations. As the bio-economy is growing, the demand on biobased products will increase and so will the prices for the raw material. Due to our unique feedstock flexibility, Cortus will not be affected of such price fluctuations.

CORTUS RENEWABLE GAS

Drying

Incoming biomass is dried with internal waste heat.

Pyrolysis

The dried biomass is converted into a very reactive char (biocoal). In addition, pyrolysis gas is produced which is used to heat the whole process.

Gasification

Pure renewable syngas is generated when char reacts with steam at high temperature.

Product

The hot syngas is cooled with water and steam is generated. Steam is used in the process and the cooled syngas is now ready to use!
