Outreach and Education

TUESDAY, MARCH 28 AT 10:00AM CENTRAL TIME. As industries transition toward a net-zero economy, biomass gasification is becoming an increasingly viable option for large-scale production of low-carbon energy and fuels. SunGas Renewables, a spin-out of GTI Energy formed to commercialize the proven U-Gas® technology, is exploring decarbonization opportunities through woody biomass gasification.

Join this Tech Talk as we review how hydrogen, RNG and renewable biofuels for gasoline, diesel, SAF, and methanol (marine shipping fuel) can be created from wood and agricultural waste. We’ll discuss the technical readiness of U-GAS® to drive large-scale solutions in the energy transition. Don't miss this opportunity to discover how biofuels can accelerate us toward a low-carbon future economy today.
