Problem
The transportation sector contributes significantly to global CO2 emissions, necessitating sustainable fuel alternatives to mitigate climate change. Existing engines and infrastructure present a barrier to adopting new fuel types, requiring solutions compatible with current systems.
Solution
CAPHENIA offers a Power-and-Biogas-to-Liquid (PBtL) process that converts CO2 and biogas into renewable synthetic fuels, enabling a transition to sustainable energy without infrastructure overhaul. The process utilizes CO2 as a feedstock, converting it into syngas, an intermediate product for creating synthetic fuels and other chemical products. CAPHENIA's 3-in-1 zone reactor combines necessary processes, achieving an 86% efficiency in syngas production and up to 92% CO2 reduction compared to fossil fuels. The resulting synthetic fuels can be used in existing engines and aircraft without requiring modifications, offering a drop-in replacement for traditional fuels.
Target Audience
CAPHENIA targets the transportation industry, including aviation, shipping, and automotive sectors, seeking sustainable and economically viable fuel alternatives, as well as chemical companies looking for sustainable feedstock.
