George Frangeskides, Chairman at ALBA, explains why the Pilbara Lithium option ‘was too good to miss’. Watch the video here.
A confluence of trends has made it a more exciting time than ever to be in the Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage space (BECCS). This Friday, at the LLNL Roads to Removal symposium on the beautiful UC Merced campus, our Phoenix team sat in the audience and listened with excitement as scientists and researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) validated with science and data, the importance of our work. 🙌
We also heard from Government officials such as California Secretary of Agriculture, Karen Ross, and industry thought leaders blazing trails in climate science, about how BECCS (BiCRS) is an essential tool in the toolbox for helping our Nation reach its Net Zero 2050 goal.

It was really humbling to see our North Fork Community Plant (NFCP) featured prominently on many presentations as proof and example of carbon removal (CDR) in California at the event since this month at Phoenix we kick off our efforts to have real impact with NFCP commissioning and set to sequester 4500 MTCO2e annually. This number might seem small in the grand scheme of the work we have in front of us as a Nation, but if Phoenix can execute on its ten year plan, our network of small and mighty community-scale plants are expected to sequester 47 Million MTCO2e. And this is just our CDR impact....
Equally important is the workhorse our plants are for the state of California's wildfire abatement programs and the support our plants can offer landfills for meeting requirements of SB 1383 - a measure that was passed in an effort to divert organics from our landfills to help further reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global climate change.
The LLNL event made us super optimistic that we have established ourselves in the climate action landscape. However, we will not lose sight of the work we are doing to deliver clean, renewable energy to Californians 24/7 which is why our CEO, Greg Stangl, never sleeps...as we post he is on an airplane to the 17th Annual International Biomass Conference & Expo in Virginia!
EQTEC plc is pleased to announce that it has submitted the second half of pre- #frontendengineering design (pre-FEED) to the Biogaz Gardanne project. This design work provides important, first-stage engineering to support project decisions about establishment of a wood waste-to- #renewablenaturalgas (#RNG) plant built around EQTEC plc steam-oxygen #gasification technology and Wood Vesta methanation technology. This important progress follows completion of the first stage of pre-FEED work by EQTEC plc in December 2023 and prior completion of feasibility work with a range of partners. The Biogaz Gardanne project and its grant funding are driven by the #france national government via the Préfet de la Région #provencealpescotedazur on the site of a decommissioned, coal-fired power station in Meyreuil, #aixenprovence, #bouchesdurhône. EQTEC plc and EQTEC France executives will meet next week with French national government officials to follow up. #decarbonisation #newenergy
EQTEC plc is pleased to share its progress with IDEX Groupe on the France Market Development Centre (MDC) near Villers-sous-Montrond, in the #Doubs province of France. EQTEC plc engineers in December 2023 finished the original scope of #frontendengineering design (FEED) and have since then collaborated with IDEX Groupe on additional value engineering for price optimisation of the project. This work will provide owner-operator IDEX Groupe with the technical information to take the project to its Final Investment Decision (FID) and the start of retrofit and construction. EQTEC plc is the core technology supplier for #FranceMDC and this is one of two projects it is pursuing with IDEX Groupe. #wastetovalue
EQTEC plc is pleased to have completed the first stage of basic engineering work in December 2023 for Simonpietri Enterprises LLC (SEL). We are well underway with the second half of the work and anticipate completing basic engineering later this month, under the Technical Services Agreement we signed in November 2023. Following that, we hope to move forward with SEL by providing further engineering services and equipment supply a plant that would convert 15,000 tonnes per year of wood #waste into #syngas, which in turn would generate up to 2MW of electrical power for an organic fertiliser production facility and demolition waste sorting and recycling operation
