Good news from Sweden!

Cortus Energy has reached MILESTONE 2 (3) in Höganäs. The plant is now technically completed and ready for hot operation.

Cortus has the pleasure to announce that our first commercial WoodRoll® plant (6 MW) in Höganäs is technically completed, including third-party certificates, instruction manuals and check-out of all components. The control system is now fully implemented and quality assured.

Firing and hot tests (up to 1 100°C) with Natural gas has been completed and, with the approval of the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), MILESTONE 2 (3) has been achieved. Cortus will accordingly invoice Höganäs Sweden AB SEK 1.25 million.

“It is a great pleasure that we now have a plant ready for hot operation. At the same time, I am both moved and relieved by what we have achieved so far that gives both hope and new expectations for 2020”, says Cortus Founder Rolf Ljunggren.

Now the test program continues with full focus on MILESTONE 3 (3), which means delivery of renewable syngas at agreed quality without interruption for 168 hours (7 days). The goal is to reach MILESTONE 3 (3) at the end of the first quarter of 2020, when an additional SEK 1.25 million will be invoiced. Demonstration will follow and the delivery of renewable syngas to Höganäs is expected to begin in the second half of 2020.
