Franchise & Consortium

One technology, deployed worldwide through local consortiums.

IWT Worldwide commercializes Thermoselect® gasification through a franchise and licensing model. For each territory, IWT forms a country-specific consortium — bringing together licensed technology, engineering, financing, a secured waste supply, and local operations under one structure authorized to sub-license through franchise agreements.

Global Franchise Network

Consortium deployment, worldwide

Building on 30+ years of independently validated Thermoselect® operation, IWT licenses exclusive franchise territories worldwide. In each territory a local consortium — investors, municipalities, and operating partners — deploys the same proven technology to turn waste into power, fuels, and hydrogen. The map below traces our active pipeline across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
