Highlights
- Strategic Collaboration: EQTEC partners with Simonpietri Enterprises to develop waste-to-value projects that enhance sustainability and reduce emissions.
- Innovative Projects: Key initiatives include Aloha SMRFF and RNG facilities in Hawaii and Tacoma, focusing on transforming waste into renewable energy and fertilizers.
- Market Impact: The collaboration aims to showcase the viability of localized waste-to-RNG and CHP solutions, strengthening both companies' market positions in the U.S. renewable energy sector.
EQTEC plc (LSE:EQT), a leader in syngas technology for the clean conversion of waste into sustainable energy and biofuels, has entered into a Collaboration Framework Agreement (CFA) with Simonpietri Enterprises LLC (SEL), a Hawaii-based developer specializing in innovative project solutions for recycling waste into sustainable products. This partnership aims to enhance both environmental sustainability and economic benefits through the development of advanced waste-to-value projects.
Partnership Goals and Synergies
The collaboration seeks to leverage SEL’s extensive experience in project development and community engagement alongside EQTEC’s cutting-edge syngas technology. Together, they aim to tackle significant waste management challenges while simultaneously producing renewable energy and fuels. This partnership is poised to expand the market presence of both companies, drive innovation, and create new avenues for intellectual property development.
Additionally, the collaboration will showcase the effectiveness of modular and localized waste-to-Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) solutions in the U.S. market, particularly within the Pacific and Northwest regions. By demonstrating the viability of these solutions, the partnership is expected to have a meaningful impact on the sector.
Key Projects Under Development
Several significant projects are being pursued under the CFA:
-
Aloha Sustainable Materials Recycling and Fertilizer Facility (Aloha SMRFF), Kapolei, Hawaii:
- Capacity: 2 tonnes per hour system.
- Objective: Transform 50,000 tonnes of construction, demolition, and landscaping debris annually into energy for an organic fertilizer manufacturing plant.
- Current Stage: Front-End Loading (FEL) 3 Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) completed, site secured. The Environmental Assessment is in the public comment phase, with 100% supportive comments received to date. EQTEC commenced FEL 3 (FEED) work in September 2024, valued at €380,000, with a delivery timeline of four months, expecting most revenues in 2024.
-
Aloha Carbon Honolulu RNG, Kapolei, Hawaii:
- Capacity: 20 tonnes per hour system.
- Objective: Process 350,000 tonnes of waste annually into RNG.
- Current Stage: FEL-2 design completed and site secured. EQTEC submitted a FEL 3 (FEED) proposal valued at approximately €1.0 million, with a delivery program of five months awaiting feedback.
-
Aloha Carbon Tacoma RNG, Tacoma, Washington:
- Capacity: 20 tonnes per hour system.
- Objective: Designed to handle up to 350,000 tonnes of waste annually.
- Current Stage: FEL-0, with site and feedstock offtake identified.
