Process route fixed: Fischer-Tropsch
Gasification plus FT synthesis, producing SAF and renewable diesel. Plant concept engineering is now under way.
Zuriwo is designing a plant that gasifies industrial waste into syngas, then uses Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis, a catalytic process that builds liquid fuel molecules from that gas. The same plant then upgrades the result into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel, each certified before use.

And firming up the gasification and FT design before lab work starts.
Fuel from this route must also be approved under aviation fuel standards before it is used in aircraft.
