Industrial and institutional facilities are major consumers of natural gas and/or fuel oil for on-site process and building heat requirements. In this new era of higher fuel costs, these energy consumers are making choices about technologies that will enable them to switch from high priced conventional fuels to lower cost alternative fuels such as wood residuals.
Nexterra’s gasification systems are specifically designed to address the needs of industrial and institutional customers wanting to reduce both their fuel costs and their carbon footprint. Nexterra delivers its technology via direct sales to customers and through energy and utility services companies.
Forest Industry Applications
Nexterra supplies turnkey biomass gasification solutions for sawmills, plywood plants, and pulp and paper mills.
Nexterra gasifiers convert wood residuals such as bark into clean burning syngas that can be used to displace fossil fuel used in boilers, kilns and dryers.

Institutional Applications
Nexterra offers gasification solutions that enable universities, municipalities, hospitals and government institutions to convert building, campus and district heating systems from fossil fuels to lower cost alternative fuels such as wood waste. Nexterra works with energy services providers and utilities services companies who build (and sometimes own and operate) the gasification systems.

Power Generation Applications
Nexterra’s gasification technology can be combined with conventional steam turbine equipment to produce up to10 MW of electricity. These modular power plants represent a new standard in biomass power production as the systems are simpler in design, lower cost and cleaner than conventional wood biomass combustion power plants.

Future Industrial Fuel Applications
Nexterra plans to develop and demonstrate new fuel applications for its gasification technology. Future fuels could include a variety of agricultural biomass, paper mill waste, poultry litter and coal. Development of these applications will be undertaken with industry partners with the objective of commercializing turnkey thermal and cogeneration gasification systems for those industries.
