Synthesis Energy Systems enters agreement to study feasibility of using gasification technology to produce green chemicals from waste in the US

Green Car Congress

The plants being contemplated are expected to have an attractive environmental footprint as they would process these waste streams with a low emissions profile. SES will be assisted in this effort by Fluor Enterprises, a leading global engineering, procurement, maintenance and construction company.
