Exact ratios. Lower cost.
Produce higher-value syngas and hydrogen with less natural gas.
Turn natural gas and CO2 into precisely tuned H2 and CO outputs for chemicals, fuels, and hydrogen production—while lowering feedstock demand, reducing carbon intensity, and improving plant economics using HYCO1's breakthrough syngas technologies.
The HYCO1 Advantage
The role of syngas and hydrogen in lower-cost, lower-carbon production.
Syngas and hydrogen producers are under constant pressure to do more with less: less natural gas, less energy, less downstream correction, and less carbon emitted per ton produced. Conventional reforming systems make that difficult, often forcing a tradeoff between efficiency, output quality, and carbon performance. HYCO1 eliminates that compromise by using CUBE™ Technology to convert methane and CO2 together with exceptional efficiency—giving producers tighter control of H2:CO ratios, stronger economics, and a built-in path to carbon utilization.
The Clear Choice
Why HYCO1 for syngas & H2 producers:
-
Exact Ratio Control: Tune syngas output to the ratio your downstream process actually needs, reducing or eliminating costly correction and cleanup steps.
-
Higher Feed Efficiency: Use CUBE™ Technology to get more valuable H2 and CO from every unit of methane by converting CO2 alongside it in a single integrated reaction.
-
CO2 as Cost Offset: Replace a portion of natural gas demand by using CO2 as feedstock—lowering feed costs while converting a waste stream into product value.
-
Lower Carbon, Better Product: Produce lower-CI syngas and hydrogen without sacrificing output, helping customers improve both margins and sustainability performance.
Why it matters
From methane and CO2 to precision syngas.
- Feedstock Preparation: Start with natural gas and, where available, add captured or process CO2 as a productive feed input. Instead of treating CO2 only as a liability, HYCO1 turns it into part of the value equation.
- CUBE™ Catalyst Reforming: Feed gases enter the reformer, where HYCO1’s CUBE™ Technology drives highly efficient conversion of methane and CO2 into hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This enables producers to reduce natural gas consumption, improve conversion performance, and dial directly into the syngas ratios required for downstream synthesis.
- Optimized Syngas Delivery: The result is high-value syngas and hydrogen tailored for methanol, ammonia, synthetic fuels, refining, and specialty chemical production. More of the carbon ends up in the product stream—and less of it leaves as wasted emissions.
“Precision gas ratios. Better plant economics.”
Enabling next-standard syngas and hydrogen production.
HYCO1 upgrades syngas and hydrogen production from a high-cost balancing act into a precision profit engine. By combining superior reforming efficiency with exact H2:CO ratio control and productive CO2 utilization, HYCO1 helps producers make more of the gas they want with less of the feedstock they do not. The result is a smarter syngas platform: lower cost, lower carbon, and higher-value output by design.
From waste to wealth
Benefits of HYCO1 syngas & H2 solutions.
| Benefit | Impact |
|---|---|
| Lower natural gas demand | Use CO2 as part of the feed mix to offset methane consumption and improve overall feedstock economics. |
| Custom output ratios | Produce the H2:CO ratio your process needs directly from the reformer, reducing downstream adjustment and operating cost. |
| Higher-value carbon use | Convert more carbon into saleable syngas instead of losing it as waste, creating both economic and carbon-intensity upside. |
| Drop-in performance upgrade | Existing syngas and hydrogen producers can improve efficiency, carbon utilization, and output quality without a full process redesign. |
