The UK-based innovator publicly showcased its proprietary hydrothermal gasification technology for the first time at Shoreham in association with Innovate UK, marking a major milestone in the development of new circular fuel pathways for the maritime sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cShipping is one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonise, and it will require entirely new fuel pathways if we are serious about reducing emissions at scale,\u201d said Neel Shah, CEO of PuriFire Energy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis showcase demonstrates how wastewater and waste carbon can be transformed into circular fuels that support the maritime sector while reducing reliance on fossil energy sources.\u201d<\/p>\n
Circular economy<\/strong><\/p>\n Delivered under the auspices of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition (CMDC6), the project aims to accelerate adoption of alternative fuels by converting wastewater and carbon waste into usable energy carriers within port environments.<\/p>\n The demonstration featured integration with technology partner HyperGen\u2019s multi-fuel micro gas turbines, designed to operate on low-carbon fuels such as green hydrogen and bio-methanol.<\/p>\n It\u2019s technology which is designed to integrate with existing port infrastructure, enabling the production of circular fuels closer to where they are needed.<\/p>\n The demo was delivered in collaboration with partners including Shoreham Port, Newcastle University, X-Press Feeders, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult and Associated British Ports, bringing together expertise from across the maritime, energy and research sectors.<\/p>\n
