Quadrise Plc (LON: QED), the transition technology provider for a cleaner planet, has announced the signature of a Material Transfer and Trial Agreement with Sparkle Power SA (Sparkle), a thermal power producer in Colón, Panama that uses fuel oil today.
Under the Agreement, Quadrise will supply and install trial equipment at Sparkle’s 50MW El Giral power plant, including a 5 tonne per hour Multifuel Manufacturing Unit. MSAR® and bioMSAR™ fuel will then be produced for a week-long diesel engine trial on site, to supply power to the Panama electricity grid.
The trial will be performed on a MAN 4-stroke diesel engine, a first for Quadrise on this engine type, broadening the Company’s application experience for the decarbonisation of energy intensive sectors.
Summary of Agreement
The purpose of the Agreement is to carry out a proof-of-concept programme and an emissions test on a 4-stroke engine. Following this, the Parties will evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of the commercial application of MSAR® and bioMSAR™ at the site.
