Quantafuel ASA

Quantafuel’s purpose is to end wasteful and unsustainable handling of our planet’s resources, by drawing on 50 years of industry experience and over 10 years of technological development. By converting almost all kinds of plastic waste into environmentally friendly fuel and chemicals, we contribute significantly to lower pollution and emissions, while creating long term local jobs.

Quantafuel has brought together a team with decades of relevant industrial experience, and we have worked for close to ten years to commercialize the technology.

THE CHALLENGE

The greatest challenge is that the properties that make plastic great to use, also make it a huge threat to the environment. Plastic doesn’t decompose, and so far no one has managed to find good methods for reusing plastic.

OUR SOLUTION

The solution is to place a value on plastic waste. One has to make used plastic a valuable material, create a sustainable model where one collects plastic waste and upgrades the waste to valuable products. The entire value chain needs to be circular.

OUR TECHNOLOGY

What makes Quantafuel unique is that we have developed technology that purifies the gas that forms in the process and alters the molecules. This allows us to produce a chemically recycled, attractive product that satisfies a huge need in the market.

SUSTAINABILITY

Quantafuel’s business model is green to the core. This does not mean we can rest on our laurels. We are working hard to continually improve our sustainability profile. Our future plants will be built according to the highest sustainability standards, and our goal is to ensure that our own production is climate neutral and waste-free.

To push up recycling rates, we need new technology that can process a larger share of plastic waste. Quantafuel will increase the material recycling share by adding chemical recycling to the toolbox of technologies, and by combining chemical and mechanical technologies in new ways.
