IN DEPTH: Ionic Gasifier Opens Up Door to Small-Scale Waste to Energy

November 7, 2017

Virginia-based firm Cogent Energy Systems’ ionic gasification technology could be the perfect fit for small-scale waste to energy applications and even stabilise decentralised microgrids.

Virginia-based firm Cogent Energy Systems,’ new ionic gasification technology could be the perfect fit for small-scale waste to energy applications and even stabilise decentralised microgrids with dispatchable power.
