Thomas Fudge, the Founder and CEO of WASE, envisions a future of Waste-to-Energy that maximizes economic and environmental benefits for all stakeholders. The company’s Electro-Methanogenic Reactor technology is designed to optimize waste breakdown and boost methane production across the board, setting a new standard in waste treatment and energy sectors.
The investment in their technology is a crucial step in their scale-up strategy and the delivery of their Electro-Methanogenic Reactor to customers. This technology is designed to maximize the recovery of biogas from organic matter in wastewater, ensuring that Anaerobic Digestion plants achieve the highest yields possible. The company states that their units can increase biogas generation by 30%, which is up to ten times faster than traditional AD processes. Additionally, the technology boosts the methane content of biogas to over 80%, surpassing the typical 50-60% found in conventional AD processes.
WASE’s plug-and-play system is designed to fit seamlessly into existing infrastructure and is significantly smaller (50-70%) than similar technologies currently available in the market. This modular solution allows for customization, making it easier for companies to deploy at their site and ultimately leading to increased energy production and reduced costs in the long run. Extantia Principal Carlota Ochoa Neven Du Mont has commented on how WASE’s approach not only increases biogas and biomethane yields but also reshapes the way industrial businesses think about their resources. The technology is making AD processes more profitable and productive while driving a shift towards more sustainable and efficient resource management practices.
