JWT is working on ways to mitigate mine methane emissions whether active or abandoned. Through its relationship with Tortech UK and Canada it is looking for opportunities to utilize the highly efficient TORBED®* reactor technology (toroidal fluidized bed technology) for carbon emission reduction. The aim is to mitigate the emissions of green house gases and recover energy and carbon credits wherever these are tradeable. Adsorption reactions and/or co-processing of biomass offer opportunities. Now that there is heightened awareness over the short-term global warming potential of methane compared to carbon dioxide and as this is such a significant global emission source, ways to implement treatment methods are becoming more critical.
JWT has partnered with Raven Ridge Energy Ventures LLC, RREV, affiliated with Raven Ridge Resources Incorporated www.ravenridge.com, to market appropriate technologies. JWT and RREV will provide processes that will co-produce power, steam or end-products utilizing waste coal and their byproducts.
​
The international carbon credit market is expanding rapidly, and the companies wish to tap the estimated 52 million tonnes of methane emissions worldwide (2022 estimates). The companies see opportunities in nations, notably China and India, as well as the developed markets of Australia, Western and Eastern Europe and North America. In these locations there is a substantial amount of power and waste heat that might be utilized, replacing conventional fossil fuel usage and thereby mitigating emissions.

JWT has access to the Torftech Canadian pilot facilities in Mississauga, near Toronto , Canada, for validation and testing of client's feeds
