ETI Gasifier

Expander Technology Inc.‘s biomass gasifier is an essential part of Expander Energy’s low-carbon bio-synthetic fuels offer a drop-in solution for these industries by providing high energy-density alternatives to fossil fuels. Expander Technologies Inc. has patented an exclusive manufacturing license to the EEI-patented biomass gasification process to produce clean, tar-free synthesis gas (syngas) from various cellulosic feedstocks such as forestry waste, agricultural waste, urban wood waste, and municipal sludge. When combined with Expander Energy’s Enhanced Biomass to Liquids (EBTL™) process, the high-quality syngas will be used to produce low carbon intensity Renewable Diesel (Bio-SynDiesel®) and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Bio-SynJet®.  

This CICE-funded project encompasses the engineering and fabrication for the first ETI gasifier unit that will produce nitrogen free and tar free syngas (H + CO) for bio synthetic fuel production. The ETI Biomass Gasifier Project will apply Expander’s suite of patented technology to produce Bio-Syngas for processing at the existing Rocky Mountain Clean Fuels Fischer Tropsch plant.  ETI is the fabrication center and sole provider for all future Expander gasifiers. The deployment of one ETI gasifer when paired with Expanders EBTL™ process will result in 17,300 tonnes CO2e/year being avoided. Because ETI has developed a gasifier to produce high-quality syngas that is free of tar and other contaminants, they are addressing this key barrier to scaling the production of low-carbon synthetic fuels.
