The project is expected to replace 15 to 20 million m3 of natural gas per year, introduce gasification technology on an industrial scale, and act as a focal point for the expanding knowledge economy.

The PRISMa project is for a relatively small energy production plant in Europoort. An initial operational unit is needed to make the installation of further units elsewhere attractive to other users (in horticultural areas or other industries). This will reduce the cost of energy. The approved grant of EUR540 045 amounts to 3,6 % of the tangible costs of building the plant.
