Quantafuel ASA reported that two out of the four lines at its Skive plant have produced at a load and performance level qualifying for Proof-of-Concept. Both lines have operated stably at design capacity before the runs were cut short by mechanical failures in the feeding systems.
We expect to resume production shortly following inspection and repair. All four lines in Skive are identical, and PoC is linked to running one of these lines with post-consumer plastic waste at high load with high availability for a prolonged duration, producing a liquid acceptable for the company's offtake partner. As communicated, PoC is an important step in the company's production ramp-up towards full production that the company target to reach in Fourth Quarter 2022. The 2022 target for Skive is processing of 12,000 tonnes of plastics, ending the year at a 20,000 tonnes per year run rate as communicated previously.
