CO2 Reimagined:
Better Catalysts
Spherical, non-coking, base metal with 2,200 N crush strength. The most efficient on the market.
CO2 as a resource
First technology to convert CO2 and CH4 with equal efficiency — turning emissions into revenue.
Real Economics
Lower OPEX, higher throughput, better ESG — without government subsidies. Proven today.
The Technology
How HYCO1 works
Two catalyst paths — one platform. A clear look at what goes in, what happens inside the reactor, and what comes out.
CH4 Methane
Any carbon source
CO2 Feedstock
Emissions → value ✓
H2O Steam
Optional · tunable
Dry Reforming Reaction:
PSA / VPSA / Cryo
H2:CO 1.4–3.5
H2 Hydrogen
ammonia · fuel cells
Syngas H2+CO
Methanol · SAF · steel
CO Carbon Mono.
Battery electrolyte · chemicals
CO₂ + CH₄ in
Industrial CO₂ emissions and methane are co-fed into the CCR™ reactor.
Dry reforming
HYCO1 catalyst converts CO₂ + CH₄ to 2H₂ + 2CO in a single pass.
98% conversion
Near-complete conversion. No coking. No precious metals required.
Separate & tune
Syngas separated and H₂:CO ratio adjusted to your exact spec.
Low-CI products
Deliver H₂, CO, or syngas with near-zero or negative carbon intensity.
CH4 Methane
Natural gas or biogas
H2O Steam
Process steam
CO2 Emissions
Waste → feedstock ✓
CH4 + H2O
Unconverted CH4 + CO2
Bi-reforming: both gases converted
PSA / VPSA
H2:CO 1.4–3.5
H2 Hydrogen
Fuel · ammonia · refining
Syngas H2+CO
Methanol · SAF · steel
CO Carbon Mono.
Battery electrolyte · chemicals
Feed the reactor
Methane, steam, and waste CO₂ enter the reformer.
Reaction 1: SMR
Existing tube converts CH₄ + steam at ~80% efficiency.
Reaction 2: SMR+
HYCO1 catalyst converts residual CH₄ + CO₂ to more syngas.
Purify & tune
PSA/VPSA sets your exact H₂:CO ratio (1.4:1 – 3.5:1).
Value delivered
H₂, CO, or syngas blend to your downstream process.
Our Products
One performance platform. Two catalysts.
Whether upgrading an existing reformer or building from scratch, HYCO1 has the catalyst for your path.
Drop-in Upgrade
SMR+ Catalyst
Replace your existing SMR or ATR catalyst and immediately add a second reforming reaction — boosting output without changing core infrastructure.
-
Tail gas cut by over 80% — CO2 recycled into product
-
Higher throughput with lower natural gas consumption
-
Industry-leading crush strength — 2,200 N
-
Non-coking, no carbon buildup or downtime
-
Adjustable H2:CO ratio from 1.4:1 to 3.5:1
Full CO2 Utilization
CO2 Reforming Catalyst
The world's most advanced thermocatalytic CO2 conversion technology. CO2 and methane go in — high-value syngas comes out. No wells, no permits, no storage liability.
-
Converts 95%+ of CO2 and CH4 to syngas onsite
-
Up to 50% reduction in natural gas consumption
-
Eliminates need for Class VI injection wells
-
Ultra-low or negative carbon intensity scores
-
Qualifies for clean fuel tax credits
Why it matters
Utilization beats burial.
Carbon sequestration buries CO2 at great expense and produces nothing. HYCO1 turns your CO2 into a revenue stream.
"Decarbonization isn't a subsidy play. It's a performance upgrade."
| Carbon Sequestration (CCS) | HYCO1 Carbon Utilization |
|---|---|
| Class VI wells — 5–10 year permitting | No wells, no permits — deploy in months |
| High injection and monitoring costs | Lower OPEX from reduced gas use |
| CO2 buried — zero product, zero ROI | CO2 becomes syngas — a product you sell |
| Ongoing cost with no revenue offset | Improved ESG and carbon intensity scores |
| Theoretical at many scales | TRL-9 — operating commercially today |
How to work with us
Four paths to get started.
Whether you're upgrading an existing plant, licensing for new construction, or want us to handle everything end-to-end.
01
Catalyst Swap
Already running an SMR or ATR? Drop in our SMR+ Catalyst for immediate efficiency and output gains — no major capital required.
02
License & Expand
Have an existing reforming facility? License CUBE™ Technology to upgrade your current plant — improving carbon efficiency, boosting output, and debottlenecking production without starting from scratch.
03
License & Build New
Planning a greenfield project? License CUBE™ Technology and build the most carbon-efficient syngas facility on the market.
04
Syngas Supply
Don't want the capital burden? HYCO1 designs, builds, owns, and operates the reformer. You receive reliable low-carbon syngas on a supply agreement.
Industries we serve
