STOCKHOLM, December 19, 2011 — Cortus offers environmentally friendly and renewable energy for intensive industries. Cortus has attracted international attention for its patented gasification process the WoodRoll ®. Now Cortus is given support in its export drive by the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth.
Cortus’ 500kW prototype of the WoodRoll® gasifier has successfully produced the first batch of green Syngas in tests in Stockholm. “These are extremely exciting times for us as we see a 500 kW system delivering first class Syngas for the first time. This is a significant step towards the full commercialization of our gasification technology”, says Cortus CEO Rolf Ljunggren.
Cortus has acquired the business of consultancy company GEP Group on April 1, 2011 and therefore forms the subsidiary Cortus Engineering AB. The deal means that cooperation between Cortus and GEP on gasification technologies and projects has entered a new phase.
STOCKHOLM/KÖPING, February 23, 2012 — The Swedish clean-tech company, Cortus, has succeeded for the first time, in a 500 kW gasification plant, to produce synthesis gas from biomass without traces of hydrocarbons. It has previously not been possible to produce completely pure biogas from biomass without generating impurities of hydrocarbons.
Cortus has recently participated in an Open Innovation project, initiated by the Nordic Council. The project scope is to develop an open market place, where innovation, intellectual capital and property rights can be brokered, and to test the theories of Open Innovation. Cortus submitted a challenge on char upgrading, which will further improve the efficiency of our WoodRoll® technology.
