Projects
Pilot Plant
Our partner Wildfire Energy has built a pilot plant of the MIHG process with an instantaneous feedstock capacity of 1 tpd. The pilot plant has the following features:
- Oxidant supply system
- MIHG reactor
- Gas clean up including electrostatic precipitator (ESP), gas blower, gas cooler and adsorbent bed
- Real time measurement, monitoring and control systems

Our partner Wildfire Energy has used the pilot plant to test the performance of a wide range of potential feedstocks, optimise our reactor design and validate our operational procedures.
- Consistent syngas quality and flow rate from the moving injection concept.
- Design gas heating value and flow rate.
- Successful gasification over more than 90 separate runs on a diverse range of feedstocks
- Production of syngas suitable for use in gas engines or hydrogen production
In 2023 our partner Wildfire Energy upgraded the pilot plant with the following features:
- New 2nd Generation MIHG Reactor
- Gas engine to produce electricity
- Syngas compression and pressure swing adsorption unit to produce purified hydrogen
- Fully automated process control
Project Proton
Wildfire Energy is developing Project Proton which will be the world’s first MIHG based commercial project. The project will form a waste to hydrogen hub in South East Queensland, Australia. Project Proton is being developed in phases.
Phase One
- Verify the Performance of MIHG at Scale
- demonstrate the production of clean syngas
- Collect criticaproduce hydrogen for use in fuel cell vehiclesl data for scale-up and optimization
- produce electricity using gas engines into the electricity grid
Phase One Capacity
Phase Two
Nauru Waste Power Plant Project Update Jan 25
The Republic of Nauru Waste Power Plant Project
Recent Years has seen the implementation of renewable energy projects in Nauru with a transition from diesel generated energy t renewable energies.
