A breakthrough catalyst is discovered that pushes the limit of carbon utilization

    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.

    CO2 Reforming Catalyst
    HYCO1’s CO2 Reforming Catalysts turn carbon emissions into assets. Powered by its CUBE™ Technology, HYCO1's CO2 Reforming Catalysts convert 98% of methane and CO2 feedstocks into syngas with industry-best efficiency, slashing natural gas use and enabling ultra-low or even negative-carbon syngas production.
