WILDFIRE ENERGY AND NATURGY ENTER INTO AGREEMENT IN REGARD TO MIHG WASTE TO HYDROGEN TECHNOLOGY

During September, Wildfire Energy and Naturgy announced that they had entered into a collaborative agreement with respect to the development of Wildfire’s MIHG (Moving Injection Horizontal Gasification) technology to produce hydrogen from a range of residual wastes, such as Municipal Solid Waste, and agricultural residues, such as wheat straw.

Under the agreement, Wildfire will develop and demonstrate their technology operating the MIHG pilot plant to produce hydrogen from a range of residual wastes. In 2024, Wildfire plan to complete a Concept Study for a MIHG waste to hydrogen project in Spain to be developed by Naturgy.
