Jos täällä on vielä Vow Asaan sijoittaneita, niin huomenna olisi osaripäivä. Lisäksi tänään tuli tiedotetta Ranskan suunnasta aivan kuin vastauksesi nykyiseen Ukraina-tilanteeseen:

Europe’s second largest gas distributor, GRTgaz of France, and Vow subsidiary ETIA recently marked production start of a demo plant built to confirm that CO2 neutral pyrolysis gas can replace fossil gas in the European gas grid.
The start of the test campaign marks an important achievement in Synthane, a technology programme launched by GRTgaz and ETIA in 2016, and one of several programmes aimed at demonstrating that CO2 neutral pyrolysis gas produced at large scale from biomass and biogenic waste can replace fossil natural gas in the European gas grid. The programme features well-proven technology from ETIA, Vow’s technology and equipment manufacturing subsidiary.
“This is another example of the versatility and relevance of our technology for decarbonising industry and society at large. With the current cost of energy and carbon emissions, and governments’ ambitions to halt global warming, our CO2
neutral solutions offer a realistic and increasingly attractive alternative to fossil carbon in many applications,” said Henrik Badin, CEO of Vow ASA.
“Moreover, with the prospect of being able to enter long-term contracts to deliver CO2 neutral gas to the grid, our offering becomes even more attractive.
With biogenic waste and other organic material as feedstock, our solutions would for instance produce both biocarbon as reduction agent for metallurgical
industry and CO2 neutral gas for the grid, further increasing the economic value
of our solutions”, explained Badin.
The demonstration plant, which is now in operation, features a well-proven Biogreen pyrolysis unit from ETIA in a novel combination with methanation
technology. In the process, the feedstock (forest biomass, non-recyclable plastics, and solids from household waste) is heated in the absence of oxygen to crack into high-value gaseous molecules. In the next processing step, this gas
is converted in a catalytic unit into methane which can be injected and replace
fossil natural gas in existing gas grids.
