AMI Hydrothermal Gasification: A 1st step towards the industrialisation of the technology
Room: Gaz Renouvelables/Renewable Gas
A year ago, the initiative to launch a Call for Expressions of Interest (AMI) dedicated to Hydrothermal Gasification (GH) was presented for the first time at the BIO360 2024 trade fair.

NaTran offered to lead this AMI GH and subsequently obtained the support of the New Energy Systems Strategic Committee (CSF NSE), which included it in its new industry contract (2024-2026). The AMI finally ran from September to October 2024. It attracted a great deal of interest, with 24 projects identified, spread across the whole of Metropolitan France. These projects could potentially enable the annual recovery of 1.25 million tonnes of waste, mainly from industrial activities (especially the food and chemical industries) but also from urban and agricultural activities. Its injectable gas production capacity has been estimated at 2 TWh/year.

The content of this first conference is designed to share the main results of the AMI GH with the public, and to hear from the many participants and supporters represented by project developers, consultancies and two technology developers. It will attempt to define the next steps towards the industrialisation of the technology, and to associate the support mechanisms that the players in the GH sector need in order to bring the first industrial projects to fruition in France by 2027.

Conference: Presentation of the results of the AMI GH (2pm to 3.30pm, Renewable Gases Room)

14:00 The results of the AMI GH confirm the diversity of sectors interested in GH and the initial potential for significant gas production in France.

Just as the Hydrothermal Gasification Call for Expressions of Interest (AMI GH) in 2024 energised the French players interested in the emergence of this industrial sector in France, so the French and European developers of the technology have not been idle in the development of their technologies either. This second GH conference, on the afternoon of 5 February, aims to give you as up-to-date a picture as possible of the level of progress made by Europe's leading technology developers. You will also learn about the latest developments in their various current and future projects, including their prototype, pilot, demonstrator and first industrial projects, as well as their technical and commercial roll-out.
