  • Methods, systems, and catalysts for the direct conversion of syngas to high-octane hydrocarbons
    Patent number: 12180130
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method that includes converting a gas stream that contains hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) to a second mixture that contains a hydrocarbon, for example, a hydrocarbon having between 3 and 15 carbon atoms, where the converting is performed using a first catalyst configured to convert H2 and CO to methanol, a second catalyst configured to convert methanol to dimethyl ether (DME), and a third catalyst configured to convert DME to the hydrocarbon.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 13, 2021
    Date of Patent: December 31, 2024
    Assignee: Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC
