🌟PRODUCTION ALERT🌟 In a major milestone, Syzygy and RTI International achieve first fuel from greenhouse gases.⛽ Syzygy's all-electric CO2-to-Fuel pathway can significantly decarbonize transportation by converting two potent greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), into low-carbon-intensity fuels that can be used to lower the carbon footprint of fossil-based jet fuel, diesel, and gasoline. This project marks the successful integration of multiple Syzygy reactor cells in a multi-cell stack at a third-party site, demonstrating Syzygy’s pathway for scaling its technology. At commercial scale, a typical Syzygy plant will consume nearly 200,000 tons of CO2 per year, the equivalent of taking 45,000 cars off the road. Huge thanks to project sponsors Equinor Ventures and Sumitomo Corporation of Americas! https://hubs.ly/Q02x3YLG0 And a sincere thank you to the Syzygy team.

🔆 In a watershed moment, Syzygy Plasmonics achieves first fuel from CO2 in North Carolina🔆   It’s official. Our CO2 reforming reactors along with the Fischer-Tropsch technology at RTI International have now produced fuel at the project site in North Carolina! This marks the first time that a chemical reactor using plasmonic catalysis has been scaled up and integrated into a gas-to-liquids system. Days like this are why Suman Khatiwada, PhD and I started this company. They are why we pursued the technology from Naomi Halas and Peter Nordlander at Rice University after they published their first research on plasmonic catalysis back in 2016. Not many people have seen the level of work, struggle, and determination it has taken to get here. And while we have had our fair share of lows, the highs are absolutely exhilarating. I can’t express how incredibly proud I am of this team, this collection of superheroes, this incredible group of #Plasmons.   With three of our GHG reforming reactors working in parallel at the project site, we produced valuable syngas from harmful carbon dioxide and methane. The syngas was then fed to the Fischer-Tropsch unit to produce crude that can be further refined to jet fuel, diesel, and other fuels. When utilizing captured CO2 and biogas or landfill gas, we’re talking about significantly reducing and potentially eliminating the carbon intensity of jet fuel. This puts Syzygy on a trajectory to offer lower-cost sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and to reduce emissions by a gigaton or more by 2040.   We’re not stopping there. With support from the entire Syzygy team and long-time employees like Shreya Shah, PhD and Hossein Robatjazi, we are continuing to build on thousands of hours of successfully testing of Rigel™ reactor cells in Houston, and we’re readying our first shipments. We are also in talks for a potential commercial GHG-to-Jet fuel plant.   2024 is going to be a big year for me and for the entire Syzygy team. The opportunity is now. It is here. And we are seizing it.

Writing to share some amazing progress in Syzygy's journey to decarbonizing chemical production! If you'd like more information on our successful field trials and how we are building on it, please reach out.

Transport is one of the hardest to decarbonise sectors with 91% of transport vehicles relying on oil and gas. Car ownership is set to increase by 60% and global transport to double by 2070. That is why CATAGEN has created ClimaHtech to clean and decarbonise the air. A platform to generate green hydrogen, bio-hydrogen and gHreen e-fuels with complementary systems for carbon capture and hydrogen compression. Find out more 👉 https://lnkd.in/e_MGCKta CATAGEN is also leading a techno-economic study as part of the Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition which includes exploring the opportunity of bringing novel clean fuel production technology to market, which has the potential to deliver significant decarbonisation to the UK’s maritime activities.

Exciting Updates from the Field! 🚀
 At Airco Process Technology, we're committed to building a better tomorrow—and that means continuous innovation. 🌱

 Our SlipRec product is gaining traction, and we're thrilled to see it in action! Out of four current SlipRec projects, two are now up and running, with commissioning underway, while the final two are being installed on-site as we speak. 👷♂️👷♀️

 This progress is a huge milestone for us, and we’re excited to share it with you all!

 What is a SlipRec? 🤔 It is a patented unit that recovers the normal high methane slip (> 1,0%) experienced on new and existing biogas upgrading plants based on the water scrubbing technology. Upgrade your existing water scrubbing plant with a SlipRec from Airco and you will reduce your methane slip + deliver more methane to the grid => win-win 😉   #Innovation #SustainableTechnology #AircoProcessTechnology #SlipRec #ProjectUpdate

✨ "Take Your Dad to Work Day" ✨ Today, I had the unique pleasure of taking my father along for a site visit with ProcessWerx, LLC, where we explored how low carbon feedstocks for renewable energy like biodiesel, renewable diesel, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) are collected and refined. 🌿✈️ It was an especially meaningful day, as my father grew up working in the oil fields of Louisiana, and our conversation naturally turned to the evolution of energy. From his #dirtyjobs in the oil fields to my work in industrial decarbonization and waste to energy projects, it was fascinating to see how our paths, although quite different, both played a role in shaping the energy and aviation sectors. 🌍 We had some great father-daughter bonding over the crossover between his past work innovating aviation software at American Airlines and my current work developing new pathways in commercializing clean energy solutions. Who would've thought we'd both have dirty jobs in such different contexts? Here’s to hard work, innovation, and decarbonizing for the future! 🚀🌱 #FullCircleMoment #ProudDaughter #Wastetoenergy #BiogenicFeedstocks #FOG #SAF #SustainableAviationFuel #RenewableEnergy #Biodiesel #Engineering #Decarbonization #AviationInnovation #CleanTech

A farm in Scottish Highlights will soon be producing and using its own green hydrogen as part of a demonstration project hoped to improve the self-reliance of farming communities. Farming researcher, the The James Hutton Institute has selected Green Cat Contracting to construct the HydroGlen project at its Glensaugh research farm near Fettercairn in Aberdeenshire. The project plans to establish a hybrid battery and hydrogen microgrid, using on-site renewables to produce hydrogen which could be used directly in vehicles or in a fuel cell to charge EVs.

📣 Exciting news! Earlier today, the B.C. Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE) announced it's investing in Ekona's solid carbon management activities, as part of $4.2 million in funding for seven BC climate tech companies under CICE's July 2024 Calls for Innovation. Ekona's methane pyrolysis platform converts natural gas into hydrogen and solid carbon. How we capture and utilize this carbon drives the economics of our value proposition and is a critical consideration as we scale production. Congratulations to all the funding recipients and many thanks to CICE for your ongoing support of Ekona and our vision. 🙏 Read more on the announcement ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gzxamTR7 #methanepyrolysis #xcaliberreactor #cleanH2 #solidcarbon #carbonblack #carbonmanagment #BCinnovation #BCCICE
