Plasma-Driven Syngas Production for Sustainable Fuels

Graforce's Syngas Plasmalyzer® converts methane and carbon dioxide into low-carbon syngas (H₂ + CO) using high-voltage plasma technology. Powered exclusively by renewable electricity, the modular system enables sustainable production of synthetic fuels, methanol, and chemical feedstocks without combustion or fossil heat input.

Introducing Graforce Technology

Built for Modular Industrial Syngas Production

The Graforce Syngas Plasmalyzer® is a modular high-voltage plasma reactor designed to convert a 50:50 mixture of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) into low-carbon syngas (H₂ + CO). Operating entirely on renewable electricity, the system utilizes CO₂ as a feedstock instead of emitting it, providing a scalable alternative to conventional syngas production.

The reactor operates at temperatures exceeding 1,500°C, enabling efficient plasma-driven molecular dissociation without combustion or fossil heat input. Its modular architecture allows integration into industrial facilities for sustainable fuel, chemical, and refinery applications.

SAF

From Syngas to Sustainable Aviation Fuel

A balanced mixture of methane and carbon dioxide is converted into syngas using Graforce's plasma technology. The hydrogen-to-carbon monoxide ratio is then adjusted before the syngas enters the Fischer–Tropsch process to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

Key Advantages

Why Plasma-Driven Syngas?

High-Voltage Plasma

Operates above 1,500 °C using high-frequency plasma to efficiently dissociate methane and carbon dioxide without combustion.

CO₂ Feedstock Utilization

Uses captured CO₂ as a valuable feedstock, converting it into syngas instead of releasing it into the atmosphere.

Modular Design

Built on Graforce's modular reactor architecture, enabling scalable deployment from pilot installations to multi-megawatt industrial plants.

Adjustable H₂/CO Ratio

The dual-reactor configuration enables precise adjustment of the hydrogen-to-carbon monoxide ratio, optimized for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis and other downstream processes.

Heat Recovery

Generates approximately 750 °C of recoverable process heat, which can be reused for steam generation, CO₂ capture, and process integration.

Renewable Electricity

Powered entirely by renewable electricity, eliminating the need for fossil heat and supporting low-carbon syngas production.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does the Syngas Plasmalyzer® work?+

The Syngas Plasmalyzer® uses high-frequency, high-voltage plasma to convert a 50:50 mixture of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) into low-carbon syngas (H₂ + CO) at temperatures exceeding 1,500°C, operating purely on renewable electricity without combustion.

Which feedstocks are supported?+

The system supports methane-rich gases including natural gas, biomethane, biogas, LNG, LPG, and industrial flare gas, combined with captured CO₂ streams from point sources or biogenic processes.

Why is hydrogen added?+

Adding hydrogen adjusts the H₂/CO molar ratio from the initial ~1:1 reforming output to the optimal 2:1 ratio required for downstream Fischer–Tropsch synthesis and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production.

How is heat recovered?+

The plasma reaction generates high-temperature process heat (~750°C), which is captured and integrated back into the facility for steam generation, CO₂ capture reboilers, and reactor pre-heating, reducing external energy requirements.
