Quantafuel is a Norwegian based technology company, currently building
Europe’s first full scale process plant in the heart of Jutland Denmark.
Using groundbreaking patented processes, Quantafuel upcycles non-recyclable
plastic waste resources into valuable low carbon transportation fuel.

Quantafuel’s fist commercial processing plant is
currently under construction in Skive, first oil expected
Q2 2019. Quantafuel will together with local and
international companies form a green energy cluster
called GreenLab, a unique industrial park designed for
business working actively with integrated renewable
energy, energy storage and resource efficiency.

Quantafuel’s processing plant will convert 20,000 tonnes
of non-recycle plastic waste per annum. The modular
plant design enables future expansion, whereas the plant
can tripple its capacity to 60,000 tonnes per annum.
Future prospected Quantafuel plants in Northwestern
Europe, has the potential to convert as much as 500,000
tonnes of non-recycle plastic waste per annum, within
the next three to five years.
LCA
Quantafuels highly energy efficient production process
utilizes plastic waste that otherwise would have been
incinerated. Theresult is a well to wheel GHG savings ofup
to 90% compared to normal fossil fuels, by RSB Advanced
Fuel certification standards. This means Quantafuel’s Skive
plant will save approximately 50,000 tonnes CO
2
per
year, equivalent to removing more than 10,000 passenger
vehicles from European roads for 1 year.
P R OD U CT S
Quantafuel’s Skive plant will produce approx 14,000 mt
low carbon transportation fuel per year, consisting
primarily of high quality diesel. The commercialisation
of the products will be done through the global energy
trading company Vitol.

RED-Directive 2009/28/EC
(1) ‘Typical’ implies an estimate of
the representative GHG emission
savings for a particular biofuel
production pathway.
(2) ‘Default’ implies a value
derived from a typical value
by the application of pre-
determined factors and that may,
in circumstances specified in RED,
be used in place of an actual value.
