Projectdetails

Introduction

The Project FUREC (FUse, REuse, ReCycle) transforms non-recyclable solid waste streams into hydrogen and provides circular feedstock to the chemical industry.

Process Overview

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:

  1. Torrefaction
  2. Milling
  3. 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.
