Syngas for Cleaner Energy

Sierra Energy’s FASTOX™ process turns the traditional iron-making blast furnace into an omnivorous gasifier that can convert a wide variety of problematic wastes into a clean, high-quality syngas that can be used to produce energy and transportation fuels.

The FASTOX™ process creates a flexible-use syngas for various applications:

• Produce electricity. The steady flow of high quality syngas generated by the long-term continuous operation of a FASTOX™ gasifier is perfect for generating low-cost base-load electric power for plugging into the electrical power grid.
• Transportation Fuels. Diesel, ethanol, and hydrogen for fuel cells are all economically feasible using the FASTOX™ system. Due to the scalability of FASTOX™, energy projects can be developed for a wide range of uses and demands.

Syngas created using the FASTOX™ process is of higher quality than that of other competing technologies. Testing results have established that the FASTOX™ process increases syngas energy quality (BTU/scf) by 180% compared with that produced by a typical blast-furnace.

FASTOX™ syngas is a renewable energy source when using waste streams as the feedstock, opening the door for the development of green energy projects wherever there are waste streams.
