InEnTec Wins The Wall Street Journal 2010 Technology Innovation Award in Energy
Judges Highlight the PEM® Gasification Technology, a Proven Way to Convert Variety of Waste Products into Fuels for Transportation and Electricity
Bend, OR ( September 28, 2010) – InEnTec LLC, a leader in converting waste to clean energy and useful products, today said it is honored to be chosen by The Wall Street Journal as its winner of the 2010 Technology Innovation Award in Energy. The announcement appeared in all editions of The Wall Street Journal on Monday September 27.
The award was given in recognition of InEnTec LLC’s proprietary waste gasification system, the Plasma Enhanced Melter (PEM®). The PEM can transform municipal (household), commercial, medical, and most industrial and hazardous wastes into clean, renewable syngas that can then be used as a fuel for electricity; to produce transportation fuels such as ethanol, methanol, synthetic diesel, and hydrogen; or to produce valuable chemical products
“InEnTec is extremely pleased with the recognition our PEM® technology continues to receive in the energy industry and in the business press –last year as part of the Platts Global Energy Awards in Sustainable Technology, and today as winner of The Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation Award in Energy,” said Karl A. Schoene, President and CEO of InEnTec LLC. “With work on two new PEM facilities underway this year, 2010 is an exciting year for InEnTec.”
Founded in 1995, InEnTec is a world leader in waste to energy plasma gasification systems. The company’s PEM technology was invented by scientists and engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Battelle Pacific Northwest National Laboratories, and InEnTec LLC. This team developed a unique way to combine a DC plasma arc with an AC glass melter to provide an efficient, cost effective and environmentally-sound process for converting waste materials into exceptionally clean synthesis gas (syngas). The technology is protected by 47 patents issued and pending.
InEnTec has most recently licensed PEM systems for two facilities: the InEnTec Chemical PEM facility at Dow Corning in Midland, MI (in commissioning and processing waste), and a pilot project in the Pacific Northwest with S4 Energy Solutions (a 50/50 joint venture with Waste Management Inc.).
