“As announced in our business strategy update, the board believes that developing key partnerships with proven counterparties with a secured projects pipeline is the most effective way to deliver multiple projects.”

After taking a final decision on taking a project forward, EQTEC will be responsible for providing its gasifier technology (EGT), technical design and engineering.

“We are very pleased that our initial technical and commercial interactions have led to this important agreement.”

Both parties will jointly work to arrange financing for the project development.

Phoenix has already collaborated with EQTEC and selected its EGT for two power plants in California.

Phoenix Energy CEO Gregory Stangl said: “Having worked closely with EQTEC on our initial projects, we are delighted to be taking our relationship to the next level with the signing of the agreement, as we seek to jointly exploit what we know to be significant opportunities for both parties in the Californian and US Biomass Distributed Energy markets.”
