The most CO for DRI operations
Decarbonize DRI technology with CO-rich syngas.
HYCO1 enables CO2-to-syngas conversion tailored for green steel without slowing your line.
The HYCO1 Advantage
Transforming steel production with low-carbon syngas solutions.
HYCO1 helps steel producers optimize syngas production for direct-reduction processes, leveraging CO-rich syngas derived from methane and CO2. Our systems support the transition to low-emission DRI processes without impacting throughput.

Why DRI plants choose HYCO1:
-
Low-Carbon CO production: tailor gas mix for optimal ore reactivity.
-
Use of CO2 feedstock: replace fossil carbon inputs with recycled emissions.
-
Drop-in catalytic solutions for existing reformers which enhance feed flexibility and optimized conversion.
-
Sustainability gains: meet climate targets while maintaining production.
Why it matters
