Sustainable Energy Production

The produced gas can be seamlessly injected into existing high-pressure networks, serving as a replacement for fossil gas or as an industrial feedstock, contributing to a cleaner energy future.

Full Conversion and Clean Water

Our innovative process rapidly and fully converts waste into useful substances and clean water, without organic digestate.

Clean Waste Management

By significantly reducing the CO₂ footprint of processing difficult waste streams, SuperCritical CleanUp provides an environmentally friendly method for creating green, circular gas and clean water.

Scalable and
Future-Proof

This technology supports national energy transition goals, CO₂ reduction strategies, and compliance with environmental regulations, making it a reliable and future-ready solution for sustainable development.

Transforming Waste into Green Energy

SuperCritical CleanUp is a groundbreaking innovation that enables the circular use of diverse waste streams. Through a continuous and highly efficient process, it converts organic residuals into green gas, green hydrogen, green CO₂ and clean water. Designed for speed, efficiency, and scalability, it paves the way for a sustainable and greener planet.

The Supercritical Phase

Water, known for its liquid, solid, and gaseous states, enters a fourth form under extreme pressure and temperature: the supercritical phase. In this state, water exhibits unique properties that enable highly efficient waste conversion. This is the core of our technology: a continuous and highly efficient use of supercritical water.

Unlocking (problematic) Waste Streams

SuperCritical CleanUp processes various waste types, including wet industrial sludge,agricultural waste, and non-biogenic materials like plastics. Its ability to handle liquid waste with high water content sets it apart as a versatile solution for difficult waste streams.

The Conversion Process

If we mix water with organic waste and bring it into the supercritical phase, something special happens: all organic matter in the water, either of biological nature or of fossil origin, breaks down into methane, hydrogen and clean water. As all the organic matter is completely converted, no digestate remains. Valuable minerals can be extracted from the inorganic material.

Green Circular Gas and Clean Water

The gas mixture produced by the gasifier can be upgraded into green methane, pure hydrogen, orsyngas, suitable as an industrial feedstock. Leveraging the high pressure from the supercritical phase, this gas can be directly injected into the high pressure grid, which connects to seasonal storages systems. Additionally, the clean water generated in the process can be reused internally or safely discharged into surface water systems.

" We work like nature but faster."

Application areas

Large scale production of green methane

Thanks to its high gas yield and scalable technology, SuperCritical CleanUp can play a pivotal role in achieving national climate goals and phasing out fossil gas.

Converting waste streams into circular gas and clean water

SuperCritical CleanUp offers an innovative pathway for processing (wet) industrial waste streams into circular gas and clean water.This approach not only reduces CO₂ emissions but also generates circular feedstock for new products, creating a double environmental benefit.

How SuperCritical CleanUp bends the carbon curve towards zero

By replacing fossil natural gas with green circular gas, SuperCritical CleanUp significantly reduces CO₂ emissions. Furthermore, emissions from processing waste streams are minimized. With the added benefit of using or storing the green CO₂ from the process, SuperCritical CleanUp achieves a triple impact: replacing fossil fuels, cutting emissions, and enabling negative emissions. Bending the carbon curve towards zero.
