Problem
Traditional chemical production relies heavily on fossil fuels, resulting in significant carbon emissions and environmental impact. These conventional methods often involve combustion, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and hindering progress toward net-zero goals.
Solution
Syzygy Plasmonics offers a photocatalytic reactor platform that utilizes light to drive chemical reactions, replacing combustion in the production of hydrogen, syngas, and fuels. This technology enables the use of low-carbon-intensity feedstocks, reducing carbon emissions and offering a more sustainable and cost-effective approach to chemical manufacturing. The Rigel reactor cells facilitate efficient production of hydrogen and syngas at a lower levelized cost, proven through ongoing field trials. Syzygy's multi-reaction platform electrifies chemical production, providing reliable, low-cost solutions for achieving net-zero emissions.
