PLAGAZI, ALLEIMA, GÄSTRIKE ÅTERVINNARE AND MACKMYRA BRUK LAUNCH A JOINT FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR FUTURE SUSTAINABLE WASTE RECYCLING AND CIRCULAR HYDROGEN PRODUCTION.
The companies announce that they are launching a feasibility study to explore the possibilities of realising an innovative project in sustainable and local waste recycling and circular hydrogen production. The feasibility study is an important first step towards realising a future project that can both promote local industry and contribute to the climate transition.
The project aims to explore the use of Plagazi's patented technology to convert non-recyclable waste into circular hydrogen through an innovative plasma gasification process. This technology captures greenhouse gas emissions and can help reduce carbon emissions for companies both inside and outside the municipality.
The project partners Plagazi, Alleima, Gästrike återvinnare and Mackmyra Bruk have jointly initiated the feasibility study. The study, which will be carried out between May and October 2024, includes site selection, technical and economic analysis. Each party is contributing its expertise and resources to ensure a comprehensive and informed assessment of the project's feasibility.
"This project can further strengthen Alleima's sustainability efforts. Innovative new technologies are crucial for the transition. If successful, we can reduce carbon emissions and achieve circular solutions for challenging waste fractions." says Katarina Veem, Sustainability Manager at Alleima's Tube division.
"Utilising non-recyclable waste to produce hydrogen and strengthen the local energy system is very exciting. We hope that the feasibility study means that local production can be started in our local area, which would save both transport, finances and climate emissions," says Therése Metz, chairman of Gästrike återvinnare.
The feasibility study will result in a comprehensive report describing the planned plant, waste supply, hydrogen sales, carbon capture and storage (CCS), logistics and the economic viability of the project. The project represents an important milestone in the endeavour to reduce carbon emissions and develop sustainable energy solutions.
"We are very excited to start this feasibility study with such strong and committed partners," says Linnea Lang, CCO of Plagazi AB. "Our technology has the potential to create significant environmental and economic benefits, and we look forward to exploring the possibilities together with Alleima, Gästrike återvinnare and Mackmyra Bruk."
"The focus of the Forsbacka business area is on railway-intensive activities in a circular economy, and Plagazi fits into this," says Mackmyra Bruk.
