The most advanced syngas platform on earth

HYCO1 transforms CO2 and methane into high-efficiency syngas at the lowest cost and carbon intensity ever achieved.

Carbon Utilization.
Best Efficiency.

HYCO1's patented CUBE™ Technology is transforming how the world thinks about syngas, H2, and CO. By converting CO2 and methane into chemical-grade syngas in a single, high-efficiency pass, HYCO1 offers the most advanced and cost-effective carbon utilization platform available today. This is true carbon utilization; efficient, scalable, and profitable.

Built for performance: unmatched catalyst innovation

HYCO1’s catalysts aren’t just advanced, they’re industry redefining. Designed with a proprietary metal alloy structure and pre-sintered, crystalline composition, HYCO1 catalysts eliminate coking, improve gas flow, and enable unprecedented feedstock flexibility.
Key technical benefits:
  • Non-coking design enables dry methane reforming and CO2 utilization
  • Pre-sintered, crystalline metal structure improves durability
  • Base metal formulation avoids costly noble metals
  • Spherical form factor improves pressure drop, crush strength, and flow dynamics

    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.

    Catalyst swaps: upgrade what you already own

    Already operating an SMR or ATR unit? HYCO1’s SMR+ Catalyst can be dropped into your existing reformer with minimal modification—instantly improving conversion efficiency, increasing throughput, and unlocking internal CO2 utilization.

    Benefits:
    • Reduce natural gas consumption and operating cost
    • Boost carbon monoxide output for downstream value
    • Improve energy efficiency and steam ratios
    • Lower CI without changing core infrastructure

    New projects: build smarter from the start

    For greenfield projects or expansions, HYCO1 licenses the most advanced syngas creation platforms available. Choose SMR+ Catalyst to maximize traditional methane reforming or go full decarbonization with our CO2 Reforming Catalyst in a CUBE™ CO2 Reformer (CCR™).

    Applications:
    • Chemical manufacturing
    • Biofuel and SAF production
    • Methanol and ammonia plants
    • Steel and synthetic polymer processing
    Why build with HYCO1:
    • Design for low or zero emissions
    • Customized H2 : CO ratios
    • CAPEX-efficient modular systems

    Syngas supply: let us handle it

    Don’t want to own the reformer? We’ve got it covered. HYCO1 can site, build, own, and operate an over-the-fence reformer that delivers syngas, H2, or CO directly to your facility—without the capital burden on your end.

    You get:
    • Reliable, low-carbon syngas tailored to spec
    • No operational responsibility
    • Long-term cost stability
    • Rapid project deployment with minimal disruption

    Real economics. Real impact.

    Unlike carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions, HYCO1 doesn’t just store emissions, we turn them into value. Our solutions work on first-principle economics: higher efficiency, lower cost, and real product value from CO2.

    Decarbonization isn’t a subsidy play. It’s a performance upgrade.

    Technology made practical

    HYCO1’s reformer unit catalyst swaps, and over-the-fence reactors deliver flexibility and performance across a wide range of applications:
    • Supports methane-rich feedstocks and CO2-emitting sources
    • Integrates with existing hydrogen and syngas infrastructure
    • Compatible with full purification systems: PSA, VPSA, CYRO, and methane scrubbing
    Whether you're operating at industrial scale or starting with a pilot, HYCO1’s technology adapts to your goals.
