Together with the Technical University of Vienna and under the auspices of the OMV the integration of a wood gasification system in refineries was demonstrated for the first time. The generated synthesis gas from biomass is cleaned, conditioned and separated into individual recyclable components.

At the crude oil treatment the substitution of the necessary hydrogen - produced of natural gas for hydrogen - environment-friendly produced of wood is enabled. So massive savings of CO2-emissions are possible.
