Powering low-cost, low-carbon ammonia production
Maximize H2 output, reduce gas costs, and meet carbon intensity (CI) targets with HYCO1’s advanced syngas catalysts.
Transforming ammonia/urea production with low-carbon syngas solutions
At HYCO1, we empower the ammonia and urea production sector with cutting-edge syngas technology that reduces operational costs and carbon intensity. Our proprietary catalysts and reforming solutions allow fertilizer producers to maximize productivity while supporting decarbonization goals.
Why ammonia/urea producers choose HYCO1
- Lower feedstock costs: reduce natural gas consumption by up to 20%.
- Enhanced syngas yield: increase H2 yield for more efficient ammonia synthesis.
- Decarbonization-ready: utilize CO2 as a valuable feedstock to lower CI scores.
- No major infrastructure changes: seamless catalyst swaps in existing reformers.
Custom solutions for fertilizer applications
HYCO1’s SMR+ Catalyst can be tailored to your specific synthesis gas needs. From increasing CO for urea conversion to slashing methane tail gas, HYCO1 delivers performance upgrades and sustainability in one step.
Proven technology, real-world benefits
Our CUBE™ Technology powers the most efficient syngas production available. Trusted by future-focused ammonia and urea manufacturers, HYCO1 delivers immediate efficiency gains and long-term environmental benefits.
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.
