Overview

Industry: Sustainability and Cleantech

CARGEN® is an experimentally proven, scaled-up reformer that converts natural gas, light hydrocarbons, and captured CO₂ into low-carbon hydrogen, syngas (H2/CO), and premium carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Compared to conventional natural gas reformers, CARGEN® offers tunable downstream products such as low and neutral-carbon products, like sustainable methanol, fuels, and high-quality CNTs for downstream material industries (e.g., Batteries, Rubber, Steel, Concrete, and electronics). DTI is currently engaged with upstream, downstream, and technology users to build and utilize the commercial CARGEN® unit.

Decarb

Product Description

Commercial quality carbon nanotubes (CNTs).

Low-carbon footprint hydrogen produced from natural gas or flue gas and CO2.

Technology that can be integrated into different gas processing and chemical production facilities, as well as operated as a standalone plant.

Tunable syngas applicable for different downstream processes, e.g., Sustainable methanol, low-, and neutral-carbon fuels via Fischer Tropsch and others.
