FUse, REuse,ReCycle
The FUREC project converts non-recyclable waste into 54,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually, supplying the chemical industry while achieving a 101% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Projectdetails
Introduction
The Project FUREC (FUse, REuse, ReCycle) transforms non-recyclable solid waste streams into hydrogen and provides circular feedstock to the chemical industry.
Waste Processing
First, the waste is converted into pellets in a waste treatment plant by:
- Sorting
- Drying
- Pelletising
The dry pellets are then sent to Chemelot, a major chemical cluster, for conversion into hydrogen.
Hydrogen Production
Finally, this hydrogen is supplied to OCI N.V.’s ammonia production plants. The FUREC process uniquely combines:
- Torrefaction
- Milling
- Entrained flow gasification
This is followed by the transformation of CO (Carbon monoxide) and water, through synthetic gas, to CO2 and hydrogen.
Environmental Impact
The FUREC plant will produce 54,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year while avoiding 101% of greenhouse gas emissions compared to the reference scenario during the first ten years of operation.
