Problem
Industrial facilities generate significant carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and current carbon capture methods often incur substantial costs and require extensive infrastructure modifications. This creates a barrier to widespread adoption and hinders progress towards greenhouse gas reduction targets.
Solution
Secant Fuel offers a proprietary Power-to-X conversion technology that transforms captured CO2 into syngas, a valuable intermediate for low-carbon fuels and chemicals. This process directly addresses the economic viability of carbon capture by converting a waste stream into a revenue-generating product. The system's design is flexible, allowing integration with existing industrial infrastructure without requiring CO2 compression or impurity removal. By eliminating the need for electrolysis, Secant Fuel's approach reduces both capital and operational expenditures, making carbon conversion more accessible and cost-effective. This enables industries to achieve substantial emission reductions without incurring a "green premium."
Target Audience
Primary customers include industrial facilities with significant CO2 emissions, such as power plants, cement manufacturers, and petrochemical operations, seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and monetize captured CO2.
Features
- One-step Power-to-X conversion process that bypasses traditional electrolysis.
- Utilizes heat as the primary energy input, compatible with renewable electricity, waste heat, or other sources.
- Operates at atmospheric pressure, negating the need for CO2 compression.
- Accepts CO2 from various industrial sources without requiring pre-treatment for impurities.
- Adjustable H2 to CO ratio in syngas output (1:1 up to 3:1) for downstream process optimization.
- Produces syngas, a versatile feedstock for methanol, SAF, diesel, and other chemicals.
- Designed for integration with existing chemical reactor infrastructure.
- Enables up to 80% reduction in carbon emissions for industrial partners.
