OMNI Conversion Technologies Inc. will supply its Omni200 plant to help Zaragoza, Spain become the first "Zero Waste" city. The plant will convert non-recyclable waste into clean syngas, which will be used to produce methanol and clean hydrogen. The project is expected to commence operation in 2026 and will help the city avoid approximately 100,000 tonnes of CO2eq per year. OMNI's Executive Vice President, Jordi Gallego, praised Zaragoza for its commitment to becoming a zero-waste city and expressed the company's pleasure in providing the technology to help achieve this goal.

About The Omni200
The Omni200 is a thermal chemical conversion system which has been proven at industrial scale. It is a complete integrated system, delivered in large modules, rather than stick-built at site. It receives and converts at a rate of 200 tonnes per day (67,000 tonnes per year) a wide variety and mix of minimally prepared energetic wastes into clean consistent syngas with a predictable heating value and composition. The H2/CO ratio and other parameters can be tailored to a variety of applications. Multiple units can be readily combined for larger plants.
