August 25, 2026Redefining Equilibrium in Reforming: The SMR+ CatalystKey takeawaysSMR+ engineers the catalyst-surface environment to achieve higher effective conversion than traditional bulk-equilibrium models predict. Its NiMgO solid-solution structure uses CO2 as a reactive promoter, reducing coking and dependence on excess steam. Commercial operation has demonstrated stable performance at approximately 2:1 steam-to-carbon ratios with near-complete methane conversion and more than 85%…
April 29, 2026Turn Low-Cost CO2 into 25–50% More SAF & Renewable Diesel—ProfitablyKey takeawaysTurn low-cost CO2 into more fuel, not more waste. HYCO1 converts wasted carbon into profitable SAF and renewable diesel output. More usable carbon means higher yields, lower CI, and better project economics. Jump to contact formHYCO1’s CUBE™ Reformer expands fuel output and reduces carbon intensity by treating CO2…
For the past decade, a lot of corporate carbon strategy has been built on a fragile assumption: if you capture CO2 and put it underground, incentives will make the math work. Sometimes that is true. Carbon capture and storage can be technically sound and still financially brutal. Capture costs vary widely by source and technology, and the total bill grows…

This is a follow-up to the post Methanol’s Moment: How New Pathways and Energy Benchmarks Are Redefining a Critical Chemical (Part 1). Methanol has quietly become a pillar of the energy transition, moving from a behind-the-scenes chemical to a front-runner in the race for lower-carbon fuels and materials. Today, more than 100 million metric tons of methanol flow through the…
Methanol is quietly powering a revolution in energy and industry. While it might not have the household name of hydrogen or ammonia, this versatile chemical is an unsung workhorse—blending into everything from clean fuels to building-block plastics. With global production topping 100 million metric tons annually, methanol’s journey from feedstock to finished product is drawing new attention from investors and…
