Cortus has financed the plant and will deliver energy gas to Höganäs AB on a 20-year contract. Höganäs AB produces metal powder, and the syngas will replace natural gas in one of its burners.

The WoodRoll® process is based on three steps; drying, pyrolysis and gasification (see picture below). The gasification takes place at 1 100 ᵒC but due to highly integrated internal heat recovery the conversion efficiency is high. The nitrogen free syngas is suitable for methanation. The dry syngas composition typically consists of 58% H2, 30% CO, 10% CO2 and 2% CH4.
