MAST-FCC – Microwave-Assisted Solids-to-Fuels & Chemical Conversion
Category: Other
Developers: National Energy Technology Laboratory
Product Description:NETL’s Center for Microwave Chemistry developed the MAST-FCC technology to convert solid feed to fuels and chemicals. The technology has been transferred to industrial partners for commercial scale operations. MAST-FCC offers a system that can seamlessly convert variable solid feedstock to valuable fuels and chemicals. The system can be tuned to specific products. Due to its unique capability to interact directly with materials, MAST-FCC increases energy efficiency, increases reaction rate and product selectivity. The application of this technology can bring down the cost of fuel such as H2 to $2.8/Kg H2 from non-traditional feedstock with minimal carbon footprint. The modularity of the system allows for integration of existing and new energy infrastructure with ease. The compact scales offer the opportunity to deploy the technology to remote locations for remote applications such as on-site fuel generation and military applications. Development of MAST-FCC helps DOE achieve its energy security and independence goals
