Nature’s Energy Cycle
Our company started with a vision: the potentially infinite production of renewable energy – by following nature’s example. Environmentally friendly, clean fuel that is abundant and commercially viable.
Today, CHOREN is one of the world’s leading gasification technology companies for solid biomass and oil based residue feedstock.
The center-piece of the technology is the patented Carbo-V process that made the production of tar-free synthetic combustion gas possible and provided the breakthrough for the conversion of biomass to energy.
The process can now be used to generate heat, power or transport fuels.
CHOREN’s designer fuel is so clean that our partners Volkswagen and Daimler named it SunDiesel®. Compared to traditional diesel, the clean, synthetic SunDiesel® can reduce harmful emissions and pollutants by 30-40% and moreover, it achieves superior combustion characteristics without the need for prerequisite engine modifications.
Good for the Environment
But perhaps its single most important attribute is the ability to recycle CO2 from the atmosphere into the fuel thereby closing the sustainability cycle. SunDiesel®, technically known as BtL (Biomass to Liquid), releases only as much CO2 as was previously absorbed by the biomass that was used to produce the fuel. SunDiesel® is therefore the first fuel with true zero emission potential.
