Gasification Gasification involves subjecting biomass to high temperatures in an environment with controlled oxygen, which converts the material into a mixture of gases including hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane, collectively known as syngas. Equally important is the consideration of air quality.

This project unlocks the near- and medium-term decarbonization benefits of rDME, an economical fuel and key step in the development of a California-based, renewable hydrogen (rH2) pathway to zero-emission mobility. These commercial plants will convert in-state methane emissions from dairy manure, food waste, and agricultural waste to rDME.
