Greenhouse Gas to Value
Our GHG to value solution transforms methane and CO2 collected in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) facilities or from direct air capture (DAC) into syngas that can then be further processed into low-carbon fuels and methanol. Our process not only replaces the cost of storing CO2 with a valuable output, but also opens the possibility for carbon-negative fuel and methanol production when utilizing renewable biogas as a feedstock.
What is methanol and why does it matter?
While methanol is a clear liquid used in common products like plastic, paint, and cosmetics, it is also used as a relatively clean-burning and biodegradable fuel in the marine, automotive, and electricity sectors. Many see it as a strong candidate for reducing carbon intensity in heavy transport and maritime applications.
What is renewable methanol?
Syzygy can produce low-carbon-intensity methanol (renewable methanol) by combining captured carbon dioxide and methane captured from biological sources like dairies and landfills. Compared to standard fuels, renewable methanol can significantly lower carbon-dioxide and nitrogen-oxide emissions.
