SunGas Renewables History of Expertise
SunGas Renewables gasification technology is backed by 50 years of expertise to deliver lower carbon intensity biofuels for a sustainable energy future.
Advanced Bio-refinery Design for Methanol, RNG, or SAF
SunGas together with C2X completed FEED engineering in May 2026 on an advanced woody biomass to methanol plant design, deploying three S1000 gasification units with a production capacity of approximately 550,000 tonnes/y. This advanced design fully integrates the woodyard, biomass drying, S1000 gasification island, water gas shift, acid gas removal, methanol synthesis loop, and CO2 compression for sequestration, and also includes all major OSBL and utility requirements.
By leveraging this advanced design, our global clients are accelerating development of their biomass-to-X projects with lower development capital requirements. With proven expertise in gasification technology and our advanced bio-refinery design, SunGas Renewables is leading the future of clean advanced biofuels.

Commercially Operational Skive Plant, Denmark
The gasification technology was commercially deployed utilizing biomass in Skive, Denmark in 2008 and the plant is still operational, providing 12 MWth of district heating and 6 MW of electric power using wood pellets as the fuel. The plant utilizes bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) technology, which forms the foundation of SunGas’ proprietary process. This gas is then catalytically reformed and used in IC engines in a combined heat and power (CHP) application. The heat is consumed in the local district heating network and the electricity is sold to the grid.

Tampella Power Inc.
In 1989, the gasification technology was licensed to Tampella Power Inc., who built a multifuel pressurized pilot plant in Tampere, Finland to further develop and demonstrate the technology for air blown IGCC power generation with biomass and coal. This fully integrated plant included all gasification island components from fuel preparation through waste heat recovery and hot gas cleanup. Gas generated in the plant was combusted in a heat recovery boiler producing district heat for the city of Tampere. The facility processed up to 42 tons/day of coal and 60 tons/day of biomass at pressures up to 435 psia. The plant logged 3,800 hours of operation with 5,900 tons of fuel processed in 26 test runs. The tested fuels include coal (Polish, Colombian, coke, German lignite) and biomass (wood, paper mill wood waste, forest residue, willow, straw, alfalfa) and mixtures of coal and biomass. At the end of demonstration tests the plant was decommissioned and is no longer operated.
