TCWT: Technology Analysis
Gasification Enables Thermal Breakdown of Waste into Syngas Used as a Raw Material to Produce Specialty Chemicals
Plasma Gasification Operates at Higher Temperatures than Gasification to Convert All Types of Waste into Highly Pure Syngas
Pyrolysis Converts Waste into Pyrolytic Oil in the Absence of Oxygen at Much Lower Temperatures than Gasification
Hydrothermal Liquefaction Is Ideal for the Thermal Breakdown of Wet Waste while Significantly Reducing Operational Costs
Torrefaction Is an Ideal Pre-treatment Step for Other TCWT Technologies to Increase Product Yield
