Conference

With the aim of issuing a Call for Expressions of Interest (EOI) dedicated to Hydrothermal Gasification (HG) in 2024, as part of the CSF NSE (Contrat Stratégique de Filières "Nouveaux Systèmes Énergétiques), the content of this conference will be devoted to 2 major roundtables focusing on the EOI and technologies for processing the high-pressure syngas from future industrial GH projects targeted by the EOI.

Hydrothermal gasification offers a comprehensive solution and improved recovery of a wide range of biomass and/or fossil waste products, and with its production of renewable, low-carbon gas, aims to contribute to France's energy independence and decarbonization.

The year 2024 is intended to bring about the decisive turning point with the implementation of a dedicated HG EOI call to as many interested stakeholders as possible to submit "non-committal" applications for the first large-scale HG projects. The ultimate goal is to trigger a Call For Projects (CFP) with an associated support mechanism from the French government, enabling the first HG-specific experimental contracts to be carried out as early as 2027, and the gas production targets of at least 2 TWh/year by 2030 and 12 TWh/year by 2035 to be met.

At this conference dedicated to HG, the speakers will share their strategies and actions to ensure the dynamic development and implementation of their technologies and their first industrial HG projects on French soil, integrating the sequence up to the point of injection of compliant gas into the grid.
