CO2 Reimagined:
make chemicals & fuels with less energy and near-zero emissions
HYCO1 is the only syngas technology that boosts efficiency and throughput while reducing costs powered by breakthrough catalyst properties and CO2 utilization capabilities.
Industry advancing syngas technology
HYCO1 exceeds all previous standards in syngas production delivering higher output, lower costs, and the industry’s most advanced catalysts as well as the first catalyst to convert CO2 into syngas as efficiently as methane. HYCO1's technology values all carbon as carbon, allowing for CO2 and CH4 to be utilized with the same high-efficiency.
Powered by HYCO1's CUBE™ Technology (Carbon Utilization. Best Efficiency.), HYCO1's catalysts are the most efficient, most robust, and most flexible catalysts on the market today.
Whether upgrading the efficiency of an existing reforming facility or building new, HYCO1 turns emissions into assets and efficiency into your advantage.

SMR+ Catalyst
HYCO1’s SMR+ catalyst supercharges your reformer with a second reaction that transforms unconverted methane and by-product CO2 into additional high-value syngas (bi-reforming). This results in boosting output, cutting tail gas by over 80%, slashing fuel use, energy costs, and capital spend by maximizing existing SMR technology.

HYCO1 is the leading technology provider for any scale syngas production
From the most efficient, robust, and flexible steam methane reforming (SMR) catalyst to the first of it's kind CO2 utilization CUBE™ Technology, HYCO1 is the ultimate provider in syngas technology. Our patented process technology and catalysts are poised to change the syngas industry whether it be in traditional SMR processes or ground-breaking carbon utilization, HYCO1's technologies create the best syngas in the market.
Carbon Utilization. Best Efficiency.
HYCO1 CUBETM Technology
Our HYCO1 CUBE™ Technology (Carbon Utilization. Best Efficiency.) cost-effectively utilizes carbon dioxide and various methane source feedstocks to create low-cost, low-carbon chemical grade syngas in a single pass with flexible H2 : CO ratios. The resultant syngas is then used to produce low carbon intensity (CI) downstream products.
