Problem
Current industrial reverse water-gas-shift (RWGS) processes for converting carbon dioxide into syngas require high operating temperatures, often necessitating fuel combustion, which reduces overall efficiency and increases costs. These high temperatures also promote undesired methane formation, further eroding productivity.
Solution
Sisyphus is developing a scalable RWGS process that converts carbon dioxide to syngas at significantly lower operating temperatures than current methods. By combining a unique catalyst technology with an efficient process design, Sisyphus aims to halve the operating temperatures typically required for RWGS, leading to substantial energy savings. This innovative approach integrates into existing industries and future Power-to-Liquid applications, delivering low-cost sustainable syngas at scale. The technology employs expertise in materials science, catalysis, and process engineering to achieve groundbreaking efficiency in carbon dioxide conversion.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes industrial partners in the chemical and fuel sectors, as well as companies involved in Power-to-Liquid applications seeking efficient and sustainable syngas production.
