Facilities
SCWG is not just a technology in development — it is an operational reality. Our current facilities allow us to validate, scale up, and demonstrate the performance of the process with multiple types of organic matter, under real-world conditions and with full control over efficiency.
Testing Platform
The Testing Platform turns a sample into a solution. It is the real-world laboratory where every SCWG project begins.
The SCWG Testing Platform is the starting point for adapting the process to each type of organic material. It enables full biomass characterization, evaluation of its behavior under real operating conditions, and adjustment of system parameters before moving on to validation at the DEMO plant.
This flexible and technical environment is ideal for conducting specific trials with samples provided by clients, research centers, or R&D projects.
Evaluation of the Physicochemical Behavior of Each Biomass:
Pumpability
Salt Formation
Risk of Obstruction (Fouling)
Density and Viscosity
Modular Pre-Treatment to Adapt Each Sample Before Testing
Filtration
Homogenization
Blending with Other Streams
Testing Objectives
Determine the technical feasibility of each organic stream
Obtain process data for customized system design
Minimize risks before scaling up to DEMO or industrial plant
Tailor the technology to the specific type of available feedstock
DEMO Plant
The SCWG DEMO plant represents the key step between feasibility testing and final industrial design. It is a real, operational, and automated facility capable of continuously processing up to 100 kg/h of wet biomass.
Its objective is to demonstrate that the SCWG process works under real conditions—with extended operation times, advanced parameter control, and stable production of renewable gases.
What do we validate at this stage?
Pre-industrial scale feasibility of your organic feedstock
Process stability under real operating conditions
Reaction times, automation, and quality control
Composition and energy yield of the generated gas
Technical and economic feasibility of scale-up
Direct Scalability
The DEMO plant is not an isolated model. It is a scaled-down replica of the final industrial solution.
Same reactors, same control system design
Modular architecture → expandable without redesign
Foundation for industrial designs from 500 kg/h to 3,000 kg/h
Results obtained here directly inform the final design—no assumptions required

SCWG Drives the Energy Transition from Salamanca with the ECLOSION Project
SCWG has launched its Supercritical Water Gasification technology in Salamanca—a key milestone within the strategic ECLOSION project. This initiative is designed to transform urban and agro-industrial waste into renewable energy carriers such as green hydrogen and biomethane, two resources that are increasingly in demand within the emerging global energy model.

CADE took part in Bio360 Expo 2025, one of the leading international trade fairs focused on bioenergy, the circular economy, and sustainable solutions. Held in Nantes, the event brought together experts, companies, and organizations committed to accelerating the energy and climate transition through innovation. During the event, CADE presented its
Hydrothermal Gasification: Applications & Implementation
Hydrothermal gasification, also known as Supercritical Water Gasification (SCWG), is a revolutionary process that is shifting the paradigm on humid waste management and its energetic recovery. This emerging technology, which implies the gasification of humid biomasses (>80% water content) into renewable gas through a high-temperature, high-pressure process, has the potential
