TreaTech SA

Award: Participant
TreaTech was founded in 2015 at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, with the goal of harnessing the power of the circular economy to convert waste into valuable products. TreaTech has developed patented technology that uses catalytic hydrothermal gasification to convert a broad range of waste streams that are usually incinerated into integral resources in a sustainable and cost-efficient manner. These include clean water, minerals and a constant supply of methane-rich renewable gas that can be injected into the grid, stored or used at our customers’ sites. TreaTech’s technology provides a solution to both short-term and long-term problems. In the short-term it can provide a secure feedstock of renewable gas that can enhance supplies for businesses and consumers, improving regional resilience to a sudden spike in wholesale gas prices. Long-term, TreaTech provides a clean technology solution that can reduce the climate impact of current waste treatment solutions.
