With more than 30 years of global experience in oil & gas, power generation, and decarbonization of energy systems, we help governments, utilities, asset owners and private developers turn stranded assets into bankable, sustainable energy solutions.

Our services

What We Do

Domestic Fuel Solutions
We help convert waste streams into reliable, low‑cost fuels that replace diesel and natural gas.

Circular Economy Projects
We can transform waste tires, biomass, and natural rubber into valuable energy products.

Advanced Gasification & Pyrolysis
We help deploy proven technologies for power generation, industrial heat, and hydrogen.

Fuel‑Deficient Power Plant Support
We help restore stranded or under‑utilized power plants to full operation.

Markets We Serve

National utilities

Independent power producers

Ports & industrial clusters

Cement & steel plants

Petrochemical complexes

Municipalities & waste authorities

Investors & infrastructure funds

Solutions

1. Tire Pyrolysis (TPO Production)

Convert waste tires into:

  • TPO (diesel substitute)

  • Recovered carbon black (rCB)

  • Steel

  • Process syngas

Applications:
Diesel displacement, industrial boilers, dual‑fuel engines.

2. Tire & Biomass Gasification

Produce clean syngas (H₂ + CO) from:

  • Waste tires

  • Municipal solid waste (MSW)

  • Biomass

  • Natural rubber (guayule)

  • Agricultural residues

  • Petcoke or coal

Applications:

  • Natural gas displacement

  • Power generation

  • Industrial heat

  • Hydrogen recovery

3. Syngas‑to‑Power Integration

Integrate syngas into:

  • Reciprocating engines

  • Gas turbines

  • Combined‑cycle plants

  • Microgrids for ports and industrial parks

4. Hydrogen Recovery

Synthesis gas generation and hydrogen extraction from syngas using:

  • PSA

  • Membrane separation

  • Reforming pathways

Applications:
Industrial hydrogen, mobility, blending into NG grids.

5. Fuel‑Deficient Power Plant Solutions

Solve fuel & energy shortages for:

  • Gas‑fired plants with constrained fuel supply

  • Fuel switching for diesel‑HFO dependent plants

  • Remote or islanded grids

  • Ports & ships requiring shore‑power

Project Development

We bring a combination of breadth & depth of technical leadership, engineering management, commercial discipline, and risk aware execution to move projects from inception to investment grade reality.

Sentient Nomads partners with customers to understand their needs and help develop projects to monetize gas, surplus energy or wasted resources. We conduct due diligence and help you develop creative value add opportunities and solutions. We partner with you to:

Confirm techno-economic feasibility and bankability of the proposed solution

Assess and manage risks to the project development

Work with the technology and equipment providers to help implement the proposed solution

Provide techno-commercial information to secure financing for the project

Serve as ‘Owner’s Engineer’ during FEED, EPC and execution of the project
