With COH2, nothing goes to waste. Our process can create a variety of hydrocarbon products.
SynGas
Synthesis gas (AKA “Syngas”) is the primary byproduct of the gasification process. After cleaning and cooling, Syngas can be sold on the open market. It is commonly used to generate electricity in a modified gas turbine and as a base chemical to produce other types of fuel products and hydrocarbon chemicals.
COH2 Energy focuses on the portion of Syngas for direct sale and post-processing Syngas into Jet Fuel and Paraffin Wax.
Jet Fuel
Synthetic jet fuels created by the Fischer-Tropsch process are certified for use in up to a 50% blend with conventional jet fuel in the U.S. and international aviation fleets. It has been used commercially by Qatar Airlines, and research shows that they drastically reduce pollutants, leading to improved air quality around airports in highly populated areas.
ParafFin Wax
Paraffin wax is typically derived from petroleum or coal. It was first used in the early 1800s to replace tallow candles (made from beef fat) because it was cheaper, cleaner, and more reliable. It is still used to make candles today, as well as lubrication, electrical insulation, and crayons when dyed.
recovered Metals
Heavy metals are inherent in most waste streams. Molten metals are tapped into ingots and sold for further refinement.
Leftover INORGANICS
Any residual inorganic material (including anything potentially hazardous) is captured in a vitrified slag, which keeps it from leaching out into the environment. The molten slag is extracted and broken down into an industrial-grade aggregate that can be used in construction. It is ideal for use as landfill cap material.
