Sumitomo Corporation of Americas (SCOA) has sponsored Syzygy Plasmonics' pilot program with RTI International to demonstrate sustainable fuel production in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The technology aims to convert CO2 and CH4 into low-carbon-intensity fuels to decarbonize transportation, potentially replacing petroleum-based jet fuel, diesel, and gasoline. This six-month pilot program will provide critical data for a future commercial-scale plant. Syzygy's CEO, Trevor Best, highlighted that the sustainable fuels produced are expected to match today's fossil fuels in cost quickly, presenting an economical and eco-friendly alternative. By integrating their technology with RTI's synthesis system, carbon intensity in transportation can be significantly reduced without major fleet modifications. The process can also produce sustainable methanol with minor adjustments. The innovative solution utilizes a fully electrified reactor to convert CO2 and CH4 into syngas, further processed into various fuel grades through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The potential of this technology in reducing carbon emissions offers a promising solution for transportation companies and airlines. Sumitomo Corporation of Americas, recognizing the transformative potential of Syzygy's work, has been investing in the company since 2019, with a recent participation in a funding round. The collaboration extends beyond fuel production, with plans to deploy a fully electric reactor for clean hydrogen production in South Korea. The joint efforts between SCOA and Syzygy highlight a shared commitment to driving sustainability and innovation in the energy sector, paving the way for a cleaner and greener future.
