Decarbonize DRI technology with CO-rich syngas
HYCO1 enables CO2-to-syngas conversion tailored for green steel without slowing your line.
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.

For existing DRI plants, HYCO1 enables a green transition through smart reforming solutions. Stay competitive in an evolving market.
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.
