HYCO1 Announces CUBE™ 2500 Small-Scale CO2 Reformer for Entry-Level, Low-Cost CO2 Utilization Applications

HOUSTON, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — HYCO1 Announces the CUBE™ 2500 CO₂ Reformer, a new turnkey small commercial scale syngas production unit based on its ground-breaking CUBE™ CO₂ Reforming (CCR) Technology, designed for advanced CO₂ Utilization in the production of Hydrogen and CO Syngas.

HYCO1 Announces CUBE™ 2500 Small-Scale CO2 Reformer for Entry-Level, Low-Cost CO2 Utilization Applications

At the recent Asia Pacific Green Hydrogen Conference (APGH) held in Kuching, Sarawak (Malaysia), HYCO1 and in-country partner PJ Energy Services unveiled HYCO1’s newest commercial product, the CUBE™ 2500 CO₂ Reformer. This is the first in a series of scalable commercial CO₂ reformers based on HYCO1’s ground-breaking CUBE™ Technology (Carbon Utilization. Best Efficiency.).

With this announcement, HYCO1 enables CO₂ emitting companies to take their first step into decarbonization with a small commercial CO₂ reformer that is affordable, easy to use, and can be installed anywhere there is CO₂ and natural gas or biogas. The CUBE™ 2500 CO₂ Reformer not only offers customers a good payback but also makes it much easier to successfully demonstrate the HYCO1 process onsite before stepping up to larger capital investments to further utilize their CO₂.

HYCO1’s CUBE™ Technology is the only process technology that cost-effectively converts CO₂ at >95% in a single reactor pass. The CUBE™ 2500 CO₂ Reformer produces low-cost, low-carbon intensity (CI), high-grade syngas (H₂ & CO) at commercial scale.

The CUBE™ 2500 CO₂ Reformer is the smallest unit in HYCO1’s line-up and is built to process 2,500 tons per year (TPY) of CO₂ along with a corresponding amount of natural gas or biogas in Dry Reforming mode (DMR), all inside a compact package of two 40-foot ISO Container Modules. Larger HYCO1 CUBE™CO₂ reformers are designed and built to meet any production need including world scale of 1,000 tons per day (TPD) or larger of CO₂ feedgas.

HYCO1 partnered with PJ Energy Services in Malaysia to bring HYCO1 CUBE™ Technology to Southeast Asia. PJ Energy Services’ (PJES) Group Managing Director, Jamel Salleh had this to say about the market opportunity:

“We see a clear and immediate need for HYCO1’s disruptive CO₂ utilization technology in Southeast Asia for both large industrial CO₂ emitters and large producers of natural gas. It is widely known that most of the natural gas reserves in this region have high CO₂ content which needs to be removed and utilized for these producers to continue to monetize their natural gas reserves. We believe HYCO1’s CO₂ utilization technology is the frontrunner when it comes to large scale Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) and is ideally suited to complement Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and providing emitters a commercially attractive pathway for pursuing carbon abatement. We are excited to see our clients take this major step toward meeting their decarbonization commitments and save money at the same time.”

HYCO1 is excited about the launch of its first turn-key reactor solution, as it marks a huge milestone toward creating high-value, sustainable products from industrial CO₂ emissions. Low-cost, low carbon score H₂ and syngas produced by the HYCO1 CUBE™ process is aimed at producing high-demand products such as Methanol, Ammonia, Jet Fuel, Synthetic Lubricants and H₂ at disruptive economics as compared to other CO₂ utilization competitors and today’s high CO₂ footprint gray equivalents.

Kurt Dieker the HYCO1 Co-Founder and Chief Development Officer notes:

“The CUBE™ 2500 CO₂ Reformer is a great size for large industrial gas users not only to start their decarbonization process, but also to augment their current syngas production and gain “hands-on” understanding of CUBE™ Technology.”

Dieker further comments, “The CUBE™ 2500 CO₂ Reformer makes syngas more efficiently than anything else on the planet. It is a perfect solution for any industrial customer who is long on CO₂ and short on CO and/or H₂. HYCO1’s patent-pending technology allows for nearly any H₂ to CO ratio configuration with on-the-fly adjustments to match virtually any need – all in one reactor.”
