Problem
Industrial chemical processes and energy supply chains emit large quantities of CO₂, creating a barrier to climate goals and increasing reliance on fossil‑based fuels. Existing carbon capture and utilization technologies are often capital‑intensive, site‑specific, and lack integration with downstream synthetic fuel or ammonia production.
Solution
HyET NoCarbon develops modular, low‑cost systems that combine advanced membrane and electrochemical technologies to capture CO₂ directly from air or point sources, compress it electrochemically, and convert it into synthetic fuels and green ammonia. The platform uses planar protonic ceramic electrolyzers for low‑temperature water splitting, high‑temperature protonic ceramic cells for efficient CO₂ electrolysis, and tubular palladium membranes for selective hydrogen separation. Small‑scale ammonia decomposition reactors and high‑temperature ammonia fuel cells enable on‑site generation of hydrogen and electricity from ammonia, supporting zero‑carbon energy applications. By standardizing these components into interchangeable modules, HyET NoCarbon allows rapid deployment across diverse industrial sites, reducing capital expenditure and operational complexity while delivering high energy efficiency. The integrated approach facilitates carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) pathways for sustainable aviation fuels, green ammonia supply chains, and other chemical building blocks.
Target Audience
Primary customers are chemical manufacturers, energy producers, and transportation fuel companies seeking to decarbonize processes, as well as operators of green ammonia supply chains and sustainable aviation fuel projects.
