HYCO1 celebrates 9000 hours of catalyst run-time

HYCO1 has celebrated over 9000 hours of run-time on its proprietary, patent-pending carbon dioxide utilisation catalyst at its Houston, Texas, CUBE™ Technology Centre. Operating for over a year inside a commercial diameter reactor tube, the HYCO1 catalyst has continuously converted carbon dioxide (CO2) and low-carbon intensity methane feed gases into chemical grade product synthesis gases, hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO).

The CO2 reaction takes place at ultra high-speed in a single pass having extraordinary selectivity toward H2 and CO production. HYCO1's CUBE™ process and catalyst are highly specialised in their ability to convert 100% of CO2 feed gas into chemical grade synthesis gas with no further downstream treatment required. Any ratio of H2 to CO can be generated for seamless integration and production of high value, low carbon intensity products such as sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) or green bio-methanol, as well as purified H2.

With this invention and robust data to support it, CO2 has been efficiently transformed from a climate gas emissions problem into a low-cost feedstock to create valuable downstream products.

Greg Carr, HYCO1's CEO, commented: "The golden pathway for large-scale CO2 utilisation is a process that puts carbon emissions back into the highly usable form of CO without a cost penalty when compared to today's high emissions gray processes. HYCO1 does this better and less expensively than any other competitive technology." He continued: "for the first-time in history, HYCO1 opens the door to competitively produce world-scale chemicals and fuels with zero-emissions."

With process proving run-time data of over 9000 hours, a robust project pipeline of large-scale commercial plant developments are moving forward.
