Developed by Xylowatt and acquired by Xylergy in 2021, it is a patented technology that breaks new ground in the industry. This unique process produces a clean renewable gas from the gasification of natural and recycled wood biomass.
No tar
No heavy metal
No polluant
While solar and wind energy are available intermittently, biomass can be stored. Biomass is a source of renewable energy available 24/7. The NOTAR® gasification technology offers an alternative for continuous renewable energy production from local and accessible biomass, including recycled wood, which is fully in line with the circular and environmental economy.
The NOTAR® biomass gasification technology ensures that the syngas produced is tar-free and reduces operational costs. Clean syngas has been proven over different production sites.
For the same electricity production, 30% less biomass is used compared to a standard process based on incineration combined with a steam cycle.
The size of the technology (around 6000 tons of biomass per year) allows us to realize projects with local biomass resources.
By reusing the available biomass, waste is avoided, the costs of disposal are significantly reduced and space is saved.
Different types of biomass can be used, such as natural wood, some types of recycled wood or bamboo. We are continuously testing new types of biomass to expand the offer.
At Xylergy, we know that the sustainability of our solutions depends on our ability to adapt and evolve continuously. Thanks to our strong relationships with major players in the gasification sector such as the University of Louvain-La-Neuve (UCL), CRMGroup or CIRAD, we are able to provide expert services and support the development of the technology and its commercial applications.
