Sumitomo SHI FW and VTT sign long-term agreement for sustainable fuels technology
Sumitomo SHI FW (SFW) and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have signed a license agreement to advance the production of clean syngas from non-recyclable biowaste for sustainable fuels. The agreement gives SFW exclusive rights to use VTT’s syngas reformer technology. The technology will be used in SFW’s gasification plants for sustainable fuels and chemicals across the globe. It enables the production of clean syngas from non-recyclable biowastes, such as woody and agricultural residues and municipal biowaste. Syngas is a key raw material for sustainable fuels and chemicals, needed
