  • Patent number: 12098329
    Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to processes and systems for the purification and conversion of CO2 into low-carbon or zero-carbon high quality fuels and chemicals using renewable energy. In one aspect, the present invention provides a process for producing a stream comprising at least 90 mol % CO2. In certain cases, the CO2 stream is processed to make low carbon fuels and chemicals. In this process at least a portion of the CO2 is reacted with a stream comprising H2 in a Reverse Water Gas Shift (RWGS) reactor to produce a product stream that comprises CO.

  • Patent number: 12060531
    Abstract: An integrated facility to produce either renewable diesel fuel or sustainable aviation fuel, or both renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel from carbon dioxide including carbon dioxide that is a byproduct of reacting Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) and hydrogen that produces renewable fuels. HEFA is hydroprocessed to produce a liquid fuel product and may produce water, CO and water, or CO2. Integrated with an eFuels process that produces the hydrogen that is needed in various steps of the integrated process. Renewable or low carbon electricity is used to convert water to hydrogen and oxygen in an electrolyzer. Carbon dioxide is reacted with at least a portion of the hydrogen to produce a stream comprising carbon monoxide with a carbon dioxide conversion per pass of between 50% to 100%, preferably between 60% and 100%, and more preferably between 70% and 100%.

  • Publication number: 20240239654
    Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to the efficient production of low-carbon methanol, ethanol or mixtures of methanol and ethanol from captured CO2 and renewable H2 at a generation site. The H2 is generated from water using an electrolyzer powered by renewable electricity, or from any other means of low-carbon H2 production. An improved catalyst and process is described that efficiently converts H2 and CO2 mixture to syngas in a one-step process, and alcohols, such as methanol and ethanol, are produced from the syngas in a second step. The liquid methanol and ethanol, which are excellent H2 carriers, are transported to a production site, where another improved catalyst and process efficiently converts them to syngas. The syngas can then be used at the production site for the synthesis of low carbon fuels and chemicals, or to produce purified low carbon H2. The low carbon H2 can be used at the production site for the synthesis of low-carbon chemical products or compressed for transportation use.
