VOLT

Electricity Generation

Transform waste into reliable, dispatchable electricity. Power your operations, sell to the grid, or provide energy access to off-grid communities.

How VOLT Works

The X-150 gasification system produces high-quality syngas that powers a combined heat and power (CHP) unit, generating electricity with exceptional efficiency.

1

Syngas Production

Waste feedstock is gasified at 800-900°C, producing clean syngas (CO + H₂) with minimal tar content.

2

Gas Engine CHP

Syngas powers an internal combustion engine optimized for low-BTU gas, driving an electrical generator.

3

Grid Connection

Electricity is fed into your facility's distribution system or exported to the grid with power quality controls.

Real-World Applications

VOLT configuration solves critical energy challenges across industries and communities

Industrial Self-Consumption

Manufacturing facilities, food processors, and industrial parks generate their own electricity from waste streams, reducing grid dependence and energy costs by 40-60%.

Problem Solved: High electricity costs, unreliable grid supply

Benefit: Predictable energy costs, waste disposal savings

Off-Grid Communities

Remote villages, islands, and mining operations gain reliable 24/7 electricity from local agricultural and municipal waste, eliminating diesel generators.

Problem Solved: No grid access, expensive diesel fuel logistics

Benefit: Energy independence, economic development

Grid Services & Revenue

Waste management companies and energy developers sell dispatchable renewable electricity to the grid, earning feed-in tariffs and capacity payments.

Problem Solved: Grid needs baseload renewable power

Benefit: Multiple revenue streams, renewable energy certificates
