About us
ETGAS is a privately owned waste-to-X company, a result of more than 20 years of active proprietary technology development and commercial deployment.
​​
We have excelled in the conversion of otherwise non-recyclable waste into ultra-clean low cost synthesis gas, and via production of hydrogen and methanol the aim is return these wasted molecules to economy on end-of-waste principles.
Our mission…
...is to positively impact the global environment by building hundreds of advanced waste recycling plants, helping our customers to achieve their set zero waste and emission reduction goals - sooner and at lower cost
How it all began
When gasification was recognized as one of the few solutions to extract the maximum energy out of non-agriculture peat, the first gasifier prototype was built by Eriks Samulis in 2006.
A trial and error approach led to commissioning the first commercial-scale gasification plant in 2010 - it amassed more than 35'000 engine hours.

A collaboration project with Yorkshire Water (UK) from 2014-2018 proved that our gasification system is perfectly suited to operate commercially on true waste - sewage sludge, RDF, SRF, demolition wood. Since then, our focus has been purely on waste feedstock - an enabler for low-cost renewable gas.
​
Recognition of our ability to directly help mitigation of planet's accelerating climate change and yet unsolved waste recycling challenge were the main catalysts for ETGAS to be founded.

Since 2021 we have worked on improving the efficiency of our core technology, validated numerous challenging waste types as our feedstock, and have invested substantially to ensure ETGAS' rapid scale up as waste-to-X project developer, equipment producer and plant operator.
