The facility in question is a biomass thermal processing installation.
The investor is Bergischer Abfallwirtschaftsverband (BAV).
The METABOLON program has gained international recognition for its innovative approach to the utilization of waste materials.
A unique gas cleaning system has been implemented, consisting of an additional cooling stage, syngas scrubbing, and a wet electrostatic precipitator.
The facility supports the development of innovations in value creation within a circular economy framework. The project aims to balance environmental, social, and economic interests.
A wide range of residual waste materials serves as input for syngas production.
The selected technological solutions demonstrate a possible pathway: from liquid residues, through hydrothermal carbonization, to conversion into solid fuel, syngas generation in a double-fire reactor, and ultimately, the production of CO₂-neutral energy, hydrogen, or green carbon monoxide.
