Patent number: 11965134Abstract: A process for the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with low carbon intensity. The jet fuel is produced from the reaction of hydrogen from the electrolysis of water with captured carbon dioxide. The hydrogen and carbon dioxide are reacted to product a stream comprising carbon monoxide. Hydrogen and carbon monoxide are reacted to produce n-alkanes. Alkanes are hydroisomerized to produce sustainable aviation fuel with low carbon intensity.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Infinium Technology, LLCInventors: Dennis Schuetzle, Robert Schuetzle, James Bucher, Matthew Caldwell, Anja Rumplecker Galloway, Orion Hanbury, Glenn McGinnis

Publication number: 20240093105Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for controlling the production of negative carbon-intensity liquid hydrocarbons (e.g., for fuels and chemicals). In various aspects, the methods utilize a feedstock having a negative carbon intensity, produce a co-product from the feedstock, sequester a portion of the CO2 derived from the feedstock, or utilize a portion of the O2 in a process that consumes O2 and emits CO2.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Infinium Technology, LLCInventors: Robert SCHUETZLE, Dennis SCHUETZLE, Anja Rumplecker GALLOWAY, Thomas P.

Publication number: 20240093097Abstract: Production of fuels from low carbon electricity and from carbon dioxide by the use of a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) and Fischer-Tropsch is shown. Fischer-Tropsch is an exothermic reaction that can be used to produce steam. Steam produced from the Liquid Fuel Production (LFP) reactor system, where the Fischer-Tropsch reaction occurs, is used as feed to the SOEC. The higher temperature steam improves the efficiency of the overall electrolysis system. The integration of the LFP steam improves the efficiency of the electrolysis because the heat of vaporization for the liquid water does not have to be supplied by the electrolyzer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Infinium Technology, LLCInventors: Robert Schuetzle, Dennis Schuetzle, Anja Rumplecker Galloway, James Bucher

Publication number: 20240083755Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to the production of low-carbon syngas from captured CO2 and renewable H2. The H2 is generated from water using an electrolyzer powered by renewable electricity, or from any other method of low-carbon H2 production. The improved catalysts use low-cost metals, they can be produced economically in commercial quantities, and they are chemically and physically stable up to 2,100° F. CO2 conversion is between 80% and 100% with CO selectivity of greater than 99%. The catalysts don't sinter or form coke when converting H2:CO2 mixtures to syngas in the operating ranges of 1,300-1,800° F., pressures of 75-450 psi, and space velocities of 2,000-100,000 hr?1. The catalysts are stable, exhibiting between 0 and 1% CO2 conversion decline per 1,000 hrs. The syngas can be used for the synthesis of low-carbon fuels and chemicals, or for the production of purified H2.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Infinium Technology, LLCInventors: Dennis Schuetzle, Robert Schuetzle, Anja Rumplecker Galloway, Orion Hanbury

Publication number: 20230340347Abstract: Syngas and liquid hydrocarbons are produced from synthesis gas. The synthesis gas is produced from a feed mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The feed mixture is heated to the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reactor inlet temperature of 1400 to 1800° F. or even more preferred to a RWGS reactor inlet temperature of 1550 to 1650° F. Some of the heat required to heat the feed mixture to the RWGS inlet temperature is supplied by the oxyfuel combustion of hydrogen or fuel with oxygen and minimizes the load onto electrical heaters or need for gas fired geaters. The high inlet temperature allows a high conversion of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide. Various fuels can be used including hydrogen, hydrocarbons, oxygenates, or carbon monoxide can be used as combustion fuel. The carbon monoxide produced can further be reacted with hydrogen to produce hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Applicant: Infinium Technology, LLCInventors: JAMES BUCHER, MATTHEW CALDWELL, ORION HANBURY, ROBERT SCHUETZLE, DENNIS SCHUETZLE, ANJA RUMPLECKER GALLOWAY
