Below is the response I got from GWTI. Mark said it was OK for me to share with all. He also sent an article on how the large Maersk shipping line plans on transforming all ships to being powered by green methanol I will send that in a follow-up post.
Would our Methane Reformer be able to be ramped up significantly to be put in service at large metropolitan city waste dumps worldwide or are there alternative systems that could do it much more efficiently?
It depends on what you want to make. We can make 3 things: Hydrogen, Methanol or GTL (A mix of chemicals and diesel fuel). City waste dumps typically produce 50% CO2 and 50% methane with some other things potentially mixed in. We need “pipeline quality natural gas”. There are specific standards. The good news is that what is made here is GREEN METHANE. So whatever we make will be GREEN as well. Green Hydrogen is eligible for Federal clean air subsidies. Typically as much as $3 per KG. We make about 10,000 KG of hydrogen every 24 hours per H-Reformer(R) . This requires about 1500 MCF of natural gas every 24 hours (after it has been “Cleaned”). The CO2 that comes out with the H2 must be separated and removed. It has value. You will need to get an offtake for the H2, but it is a GAS which makes it tricky. Most people looking for conversion of municipal waste consider converting the green hydrogen to green electricity.
Perhaps more practical is a gas to liquid approach. Easily moved by truck or train. In this case there is no co2 to separate as the carbon goes in the liquid. Methanol is the simplest. A single unit would make about 25,000 gallons of GREEN methanol per 24 hours. It is pretty much ready to go to market straight out of the unit. “Gray” methanol sells for $500 per metric ton. MERSK is paying $2500 per metric ton for GREEN methanol. The numbers are quite good here. GTL is also a liquid but would need to be separated into it’s compounds elsewhere. It would be quite valuable since it would be green as well. We have spent a lot of time building economic models of these market and can provide deeper information.
What sized cities would be the market for our methane Reformers?
One of the great benefits of our systems is that they are VERY SMALL compared to typical plants that do the same thing (Steam Methane Reformers). However, when looking at output from a municipal waste dump, our units may be quite large for them. Our units are computer controlled and can be dialed back to 50% of the numbers mentioned above. To go larger than quoted above we stack multiple reformers. There are economies of scale in doing that. Even large cities spread out their waste dumps so it really varies on how they match up. Most municipal dumps are smaller than a single unit, but not all.
Most cities we talk to are in a bad situation with the Federal Government as they are emitting Methane and CO2 into the atmosphere (or burning it). Please read the articles on the GWTI Web Site. It provides some good information about the 3 processes.
I can say that people could go to extraordinary lengths to capture GREEN methane. It is rare and valuable.
While it has been an extremely long road, we still believe there is no current alternative to what we can do. In the past months the number of people seriously planning to FINALLY buy units from us is very close. All say they have looked everywhere for an alternative to monetize natural gas and can’t find it.
Any chance our H Reformers for the WV project could be ready to be put online by this summer or is that a far too short a time to get them manufactured and ready to go?
It isn’t possible to make a plant of any kind by summer. I am happy to discuss what a real time frame would be. Unfortunately, here are many things that must be considered including PERMITTING, what can take time. If everything went as hoped, I think it is possible if we started immediately, we could be running in a year. This time will shorten as we begin building systems monthly.
Th real questions to ask are whether we are compatible from a size perspective, which process would be best for them, and (politely) to understand what they think their alternative is. We have run into these several times and usually get a good reception but to “actually” do it (probably due to money raising) has been elusive. We know of several sites where there are such municipal dumps that are flaring or venting their gasses and are facing large fines or outright shut down. Perhaps the market is just catching up to Greenway. I think we were way ahead. Green Methanol is a hot product and an offtake market would be easy to find.
I am happy to present an overview and get into details about the costs and requirements of any of the plants. Again, I apologize missing the email from Ransom.
Please feel free to call me at 636-443-3030. You might text first as I tend not to answer unknown calls for obvious reasons.
Attached is a part of an article about Mersk and green methanol. If you look around on line you will find much about this.

Mark

Kent Harer Resigns from Board of Directors
ARLINGTON, Texas, August 28, 2024
Greenway Technologies, Inc. (OTC: GWTI), (“Greenway”), an advanced gas-to-liquids (“GTL”) and gas-to-hydrogen (“GTH”) technology development company, announces the resignation of Kent Harer from the Board of Directors.
Based in Arlington, Texas, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc., is researching and developing proprietary GTL and GTH systems in association with The University of Texas at Arlington. These relatively small systems can be scaled to meet the natural gas supply wherever it is available. The Company’s patented technology has been integrated into its patented commercial G-Reformer® unit. This unit is the core of a system that can be used to make hydrogen (GTH) or, when combined with a Fischer-Tropsch unit, liquid fuels (GTL), including diesel fuel blend stock, with an associated variety of valuable long-chain hydrocarbon chemicals or methanol. In addition to a robust return on investment, the systems solve a critical problem by enabling conventional transportation of the liquid offtake or by creating hydrogen at the point of consumption. More specifically, GTL can convert stranded gas to a liquid that can be transported by conventional logistical methods, eliminating the need for a pipeline where none exists. For GTH, the hydrogen can be created at the point of use, removing the costly need to compress and transport centrally created hydrogen. Finally, the unit does this in either case with unequaled efficiency and no airborne carbon emissions.

Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Operations
Organization and Nature of Operations
Greenway Technologies, Inc. (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiary, Greenway Innovative Energy, Inc., is
primarily engaged in the research, development and commercialization of a proprietary Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) syngas conversion system that can be
economically scaled to meet individual natural gas field/resource requirements. The Company’s proprietary and patented technology has been realized in
Greenway’s first generation commercial-scale G-Reformer
TM unit (“G-Reformer”), a unique and critical component of the Company’s overall GTL technology
solution. Greenway’s objective is to become a material direct and licensed producer of renewable GTL synthesized diesel, jet fuels, high value chemicals, as a
byproduct of the conversion process and hydrogen, with a near term focus on U.S. market opportunities.
Both of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries: Universal Media Corp and Logistix Technology Systems, Inc. are currently inactive.

Page 16 of the Form 10K filed today reads
"In December 2010, UMED acquired the rights to approximately 1,440 acres of placer mining claims located on Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) land in Mohave County, Arizona for 5,066,000 shares of restricted Common A stock. Early indications, from samples taken and processed, provided reason to believe that the potential recovery value of the metals located on the 1,440 acres is significant, but only actual mining and processing will determine the ultimate value which may be realized from this property holding. The Company is currently exploring strategic options to partner or sell its interest in this acreage, while it focuses on its emerging GTL technology sales and marketing efforts.
Seems to me the company should sell these rights to acquire the money to get the prototype unit built and tested; anything to move this stock forward.

No first-person info but good news this summer wouldn't surprise me; this is definitely not a dead play.
Hard to believe a possible globe-changing technology has been left on the shelf this long.
First it was fuel, then it was chemicals, later it was hydrogen, and what seems to be forgotten is the massive amount of water and electricity generated.
Somebody one day is going to pull their head out .... and recognize the potential.
So many rich oil 'wildcatters' and yet NONE willing to put up $15MM or so to possibly change the global landscape?
What about the world aid agencies, they don't see how this could bring, water, electricity,revenues to areas currently dying on the vine? They are about useless IMO. One trial balloon in Africa could show a way to change an entire continent that currently is more primitive than modern.
Money being pissed down every comical avenue politicians can find yet proven technology (at least on a very small platform at UTA) isn't deemed worthy of a drop of funding.
Think of how many view $15MM as play money worldwide (hell, this is only 1/2 the cost of an upscale CA or SF house these days) and yet what good use it could do via GWTI.
My money is on success for GWTI in the future - and this summer may be the starting point. My vote is for very positive results

It amazes me how UTA has been able to come up with catalysts to turn syngas into fuel (diesel or jet), chemicals, hydrogen, I believe methane was mentioned (note this could be used by all major city dumps and there is next to unlimited methane gas in the ocean), and who knows how many other possibilities. As for the current G-reformers going to an electric power plant to turn into hydrogen, what happens to the balance of the syngas left after the hydrogen has been stripped, does it still contain other properties that would allow other end products to be produced or could it be processed simply to produce the vast amounts of water (I don't believe this is possible because water is simply H2O and they are stripping out the H but one never knows).
This technology does have world altering value IMO and that is why a measly $15MM or so holding up the initial prototype test was so damn frustrating. Once the hydrogen application shows to work exactly as planned (and there is absolutely NO reason it shouldn't) IMO there should be many suitors lined up at GWTI's door asking to have the same type of deal (with a nice buy in of company stock) for the oil and gas industry with the ability to change the arid lands of the world into arable lands.
For all his blustering but which IMO may be just plain BS, who should have jumped on this with both feet to advance clean energy and improved world living conditions is Bill Gates but IMO BG is simply looking out for BG.
I consider this electric company situation as a white knight saving the company for us initial investors. No other way I saw that would not entail the new investors completely wiping out current stockholders. I hope this new development saves the company and allows us current investors a chance to make a nice return on our investment. I am not looking for pie in the sky numbers (though they are not out of the question IMO) as even $1 to $2 would allow me to live my dreams.

Something is inherently wrong with this investment on oh so many fronts.
1. The very small lab at UTA has proven over the last number of years that the process is safe (no high pressures or unstable materials that could cause problems, etc), the catalysts work for the original gas-to-fuel process and the newer gas-to-chemical products, the system doesn't require a large footprint or outlandish power requirements to run, etc. Bottom line is the system works.
2. What has been holding the company back has been said to be not having the funds to build an initial full-sized unit that can be set up to get Enginnering/Safety certifications for the plant, show the actual volume the plant can provide, and establish the profitablility of the unit in regards to value of output compared to costs to produce the output. Last I heard it was somewhere in the range of $15MM to get this unit up and running at the Wharton facility.
3. This technology could be world changing in being able to capture stranded gas worldwide, be able to use waste gases that today have to be flared from oil drilling operations or emitted into the air such as biomass ethane gas, etc The potential value is in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Yet they can't find some large gas, chemical, energy company, country that is mostly desert and could transform a lot of their wasted useless land into productive land that could be made arable with the water generated by the plant and small towns built with the electricity that could be generated from an attached turbine to the unit, or individuals that are quite wealthy so $15MM wouldn't cause them much damage should it prove ineffective? It just doesn't add up.
4. I know the company had an offer made to them a year or two ago that I was told looked pretty promising yet it was turned down by mgt, then within the last couple of months I was told by the company that they had 3 offers they were evaluating for potential partnership of some type and these were being considered. Well, it looks so far that they are going to be turned down.
Does mgt not realize the common stockholder at this juncture would jump at anything that would provide ANY chance whatsoever that the comopany can survive? Do they think a white knight is going to appear with just the deal they want? I question mgt as IMO this is looking so much like a lost cause and they are doing nothing as the water is rising in the small safety boat.
Why still have the UTA lab running? After years they pretty much know everything as to how the process runs so no new data can be forthcoming.
To me this is like having a new hydrogen powered engine that is totally proven out but it will take $25MM to get a prototype built and the company is saying they can't find a source to come up with the $25MM in a market that is in the hundreds of billions if not trillions worldwide.
Like I have been saying, something is strongly askew and it is damn frustrating to see no movement forward in years. Even a letter to the stockholders now and then would be greatly appreciated just to let us know somebody is doing something.
