Negative CO2 emission gas power plant

POLNOR PROJECT

The project aims to develop an innovative technology and a demonstration installation for converting sewage sludge into electricity while minimizing the impact on the natural environment. It focuses on the use of a novel CCS/CCU system developed by the team from Gdańsk University of Technology, the project leader, allowing for the gasification of sewage sludge and its utilization in a gas power plant with simultaneous carbon dioxide capture. Through the combination of this technology with the utilization of sewage sludge as a renewable energy source, the installation achieves a negative CO2 emissions balance. Additionally, the vitrification process of sewage sludge, due to the high temperatures involved, allows for the transformation of these challenging waste materials into marketable products, providing an additional advantage to the project.
