GOMI Solutions

What GOMI Solutions does

GOMI Solutions Co., Ltd. is a Japan-based waste-to-energy company founded in 2023 by former Panasonic engineer Kazuta Sekiyama and headquartered in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka. The company designs and sells the GOMIX Series (branded GXB Series in Japan) of steam pyrolysis waste treatment systems spanning small-scale units (GXB-1, GXB-5, GXB-10) through industrial-scale models (GXC-40, GXC-100). The technology processes mixed municipal solid waste without sorting or washing under oxygen-free steam conditions, recovering synthetic oil from plastics and resins and charcoal from organic waste, with a stated 72% CO2 emission reduction versus conventional incineration. A proprietary Smart Waste Management System provides continuous monitoring of waste input volumes, equipment operating conditions, and recovered resource quantities.

The business model combines four revenue streams: equipment sales and licensing (one-time), municipal tipping fees for waste processing services, sales of recovered resources including recycled oil, charcoal, metals, PET, and char, and government-subsidized demonstration projects. Go-to-market is institution-led: the company secures adoption through Japanese government programs (METI, JICA, JETRO, Ministry of the Environment intercity cooperation), multilateral bodies (UNIDO, WIPO GREEN), and country-exclusive distribution partners (Soken Group in Cambodia, Best Care International Group for medical waste in Thailand). Pricing is not publicly disclosed.

The company's customer base targets island nations, developing-country municipalities, and post-conflict regions where landfill capacity, waste transport costs, or environmental compliance pressures make conventional disposal untenable. Active operating geographies span Japan, Thailand, Cambodia, Palau, Tuvalu, Fiji, Vanuatu, Kiribati, Nauru, Bangladesh, India, Laos, and Ukraine. Capital stock stands at JPY 45.3 million (approximately USD 300,000) against a project pipeline led by a JPY 1.06 billion METI-funded Koh Tao, Thailand demonstration targeting 20 tons per day of mixed waste.

Core offering

GOMI Solutions designs, manufactures, and sells the GOMIX/GXB Series of steam-based pyrolysis waste treatment systems that convert mixed municipal solid waste into recovered oil (from plastics and resins) and charcoal (from organic matter) without incineration, sorting, or landfill. The company offers a scalable product line from small GXB-1 units up to large GXC-100 industrial systems, with an accompanying proprietary Smart Waste Management System for monitoring input volumes, operations, and recovered resources.

Product overview

GOMI Solutions offers the GOMIX/GXB Series of pyrolysis-based waste treatment systems as its core product line, complemented by larger GXC Series models for industrial-scale operations. The systems process mixed waste without sorting by converting plastics into recycled oil and organic matter into charcoal. The proprietary Smart Waste Management System provides monitoring and analytics for operational optimization.

Emerging players

• Resynergi: US-based plastic pyrolysis company with modular, smaller-scale units designed for distributed deployment at municipal or campus scale. Comparable to GOMI's distributed-unit strategy (GXB-1 to GXC-100) targeting smaller waste streams rather than mega-plants.
• GRDI (Global Recycling Development Institute) - Ebtech Energy Systems: Emerging developer of small-to-medium scale waste-to-energy systems including pyrolysis units for distributed deployment at municipalities and remote sites. Comparable to GOMI in targeting distributed, smaller-footprint waste-to-resource systems rather than mega-plants.
• Agilyx (Cyclyx International): US-based plastic-to-feedstock pyrolysis technology developer (now part of the Cyclyx joint venture). Comparable in plastic pyrolysis technology positioning and feedstock-recovery logic, though historically focused on larger-scale industrial deployments.

Direct peers

• Brightmark Energy: US-based waste-to-energy company operating Ashley pyrolysis plant converting plastics into fuels and chemicals, alongside renewable natural gas projects. Comparable in feedstock-to-product pathway (plastics to oil/gas via thermal treatment) and similar focus on circular economy positioning.
• Plastic Energy: UK-headquartered company operating commercial-scale pyrolysis plants that convert end-of-life plastic waste into pyrolysis oil (TACOIL). Direct technology peer to GOMI Solutions, both using thermal depolymerization of plastics into oil feedstock rather than incineration or mechanical recycling.
• Mura Technology: UK-based advanced plastics recycler using Cat-HTR hydrothermal liquefaction (a high-pressure, high-temperature thermal process analogous to pyrolysis) to convert mixed plastic waste into crude oil and other chemicals. Closest direct competitor in plastic-to-oil thermal conversion targeting municipal and packaging waste.
• Enerkem: Canada-based waste-to-biofuels and chemicals company using gasification and catalytic technology to convert non-recyclable municipal solid waste into methanol and ethanol. Adjacent thermal conversion approach (gasification vs pyrolysis) serving same end-market of MSW-to-resource conversion.

Broad incumbents

• Anaergia: Canada-based integrated waste-to-resource platform operating anaerobic digestion, materials recovery, and organics-to-energy facilities across North America, Europe, and Asia. Comparable in converting mixed municipal waste into energy and recovered resources, though using biological rather than thermal pathway.
• Kobelco Eco-Solutions: Japanese waste management and recycling subsidiary of Kobe Steel operating large-scale waste incineration, recycling, and resource-recovery facilities in Japan and select overseas markets. Domestic broad incumbent with overlapping municipal and industrial waste-treatment customer base.
• JFE Engineering: Major Japanese engineering and construction firm offering waste-to-energy plants, including stoker and gasification-based municipal waste incineration systems across Japan and Asia. Domestic incumbent competing for the same island and municipal waste-treatment contracts GOMI targets, with deeper balance sheet and longer track record.
