From natural carbon waste to high-value chemical grade syngas
Convert dairy waste and landfill methane into profitable, low carbon syngas using HYCO1’s breakthrough syngas technologies.
The role of biogas in low-carbon fuel production
Biogas facilities, whether from dairy digesters or landfill gas wells, hold untapped value in their carbon-rich waste streams. But today’s biogas technologies often struggle with efficiency, feedstock variability, and delivering clean, consistent syngas. HYCO1 flips that challenge on its head, unlocking high purity, low CI syngas directly from biogas without costly upgrades.
Why HYCO1 for biogas producers
- Feedstock Flexibility: Accommodates variable methane & CO2 ratios from dairy and landfill operations.
- High Conversion Efficiency: Uses our CUBE™ Technology to upgrade biogas into chemical-grade H2 and CO in a single reaction pass.
- Carbon-Negative Opportunity: Turns biogenic methane & CO2 into valuable syngas while cutting carbon intensity.
- Maximize Feedstock Value: Turn low-value biogas emissions into high-purity, low-CI syngas for premium downstream products.
From waste to wealth
- Raw Biogas Intake: Capture methane-rich gas from landfills or anaerobic digesters. Remove moisture and particulates as needed.
- Catalyst Reforming: Feed the preprocessed gas into a steam methane reformer. HYCO1's CUBE™ Technology converts methane and CO2 into hydrogen and carbon monoxide with unmatched efficiency, even with feedstock fluctuations.
- Syngas Refinement & Use: The resultant syngas is ready for downstream use. Whether that’s bio-based fuels, hydrogen production, or industrial processes.
Enabling biogas-to-syngas production
HYCO1 transforms biogas plants from low-output waste handlers into high-performance syngas producers. Whether you’re processing manure-based gas on a farm or methane-laden landfill streams, HYCO1’s technology captures value (and carbon) with precision.
Benefits of HYCO1 biogas solutions
| Benefit | Impact |
|---|---|
| Tap new revenue streams | Biogas becomes feedstock, producing saleable syngas and low-carbon fuels. |
| Low-carbon intensity | Biogenic feedstocks can yield negative-CI syngas creating ideal products for ESG markets. |
| Cost-efficient upgrade | Drop-in catalyst system: existing biogas-to-syngas producers can easily upgrade their SMR |
| Resilient operation | HYCO1's CUBE™ Technology is the only technology that can handle feedstock variability common in dairy and landfill biogas. |
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.
