Jeffrey Vander Linden, COO of EQTEC, commented:
"EQTEC's ability to design, model, deploy and commission its proprietary and patented process technology to produce highly efficient, versatile and clean syngas from a wide range of waste types makes us uniquely fit for a range of offtake applications, including advanced biofuels. We are pleased to extend our engagement with RNG and hydrogen opportunities and to explore the potential for syngas-to-ethanol or similar applications.
"We have long been interested in working more in Ireland, and with the government's commitment to decarbonisation standing alongside increasing investor interest in supporting the journey, we are very happy to formalise our working relationship with Domi Ost. Our work to date with Domi Ost has been a pleasure-we are particularly inspired by its commitment to the highest professional standards and its dedication to quality project execution."
Kieran Gaughan, Director of Domi Ost, commented:
"Ireland is really just getting started with advanced energy applications such as those made possible by syngas-based solutions. We at Domi Ost have always been passionate about bringing advanced biofuel production to Ireland, as well as to other European markets and the UK, so a collaboration with EQTEC is a natural choice for us in making that possible.
"Although syngas-based applications are not a one-size-fits-all solution for Ireland or anywhere else, they offer true potential for baseload energy and therefore for replacing fossil fuels. Given our commitment and the Irish government's commitment to decarbonisation of the national grid, the syngas approach makes a lot of sense. We know of no one better than EQTEC for syngas-based solutions, and so we are very happy to work alongside it on our journey toward fuel sustainability and business resilience while decarbonising Ireland."
