The SynFerm consortium meeting took place as a combined physical and online meeting on the 7th of November.
Cortus, Biokraft and BEIC participated in person, and Q Power and NSR online.
After the project meeting, Staffan Hellsén gave a much-appreciated guided tour at the WoodRoll® facility.

The WoodRoll® process is based on three steps, drying, pyrolysis and gasification. The gasification takes place at 1 100 ᵒC but due to highly integrated internal heat recovery the conversion efficiency is high. The nitrogen free syngas is suitable for methanation. The dry gas composition typically consists of 58% H2, 30% CO, 10% CO2 and 2% CH4.
The process involves drying, pyrolysis and gasification.
