WtF — Waste to Fuel

Municipal solid waste and non-recyclable plastics become ultra-clean diesel, methanol and sustainable aviation fuel — landfill diversion that pays for itself.

Diesel Methanol SAF
The Challenge

The Waste Problem Is a Fuel Opportunity

Cities across the region struggle with overflowing landfills, rising tipping fees and methane emissions from decomposing waste. WtF attacks the problem at its root — converting the non-recyclable fraction into drop-in fuels the economy already needs.

The Process

Waste → Syngas → Clean Fuels

WtF combines proven waste handling with advanced gasification and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.

1
Feedstock Preparation

Municipal solid waste is sorted; recyclables are recovered and the residual, non-recyclable fraction — including plastics — is prepared as gasifier feed.

2
Gasification

Prepared waste is converted at high temperature into synthesis gas, with rigorous cleaning to remove contaminants before synthesis.

3
Fuel Synthesis

Clean syngas is catalytically converted into ultra-clean diesel, methanol and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) — chemically identical to conventional fuels.

Key Benefits

Why Waste to Fuel

  • Landfill diversion at scale — cut landfill volumes, extend landfill life and reduce tipping-fee exposure
  • Drop-in products — diesel, methanol and SAF that work in existing engines, ships and aircraft
  • Methane avoidance — diverting organics from landfill avoids potent landfill methane emissions
  • Circular economy — non-recyclable plastics become fuel instead of pollution
  • Local energy — cities produce fuel from their own waste stream

What It Processes

WtF is designed for the heterogeneous reality of municipal waste — robust front-end handling manages variation in composition and moisture.

  • Municipal solid waste — the residual fraction after recycling
  • Non-recyclable plastics — films, multi-layer packaging and mixed streams
  • Commercial & industrial waste — consistent, high-calorific streams from factories and malls
