Publication number: 20240058778Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to a reactor for the production of low-carbon syngas from captured carbon dioxide and renewable hydrogen. The hydrogen is generated from water using an electrolyzer powered by renewable electricity or from any other method of low-carbon hydrogen production. The improved catalytic reactor is energy efficient and robust when operating at temperatures up to 1800° F. Carbon dioxide conversion efficiencies are greater than 75% with carbon monoxide selectivity of greater than 98%. The catalytic reactor is constructed of materials that are physically and chemically robust up to 1800° F. As a result, these materials are not reactive with the mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide or the carbon monoxide and steam products. The reactor materials do not have catalytic activity or modify the physical and chemical composition of the conversion catalyst.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Applicant: Infinium Technology, LLCInventors: Dennis Schuetzle, Robert Schuetzle, Anja Rumplecker Galloway, Orion Hanbury, James Bucher, Ramer Rodriguez

Publication number: 20220348472Abstract: The present invention describes an improved catalytic reactor system with an improved catalyst that transforms CO2 and low carbon H2 into low-carbon syngas with greater than an 80% CO2 conversion efficiency, resulting in the reduction of plant capital and operating costs compared to processes described in the current art. The inside surface of the adiabatic catalytic reactors is lined with an insulating, non-reactive surface which does not react with the syngas and effect catalyst performance. The improved catalyst is robust, has a high CO2 conversion efficiency, and exhibits little or no degradation in performance over long periods of operation. The low-carbon syngas is used to produce low-carbon fuels (e.g., diesel fuel, jet fuel, gasoline, kerosene, others), chemicals, and other products resulting in a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuel derived products.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2021Publication date: November 3, 2022Applicant: INFINIUM TECHNOLOGY, LLCInventors: DENNIS SCHUETZLE, ROBERT SCHUETZLE, ORION HANBURY, MATTHEW CALDWELL, GLENN McGINNIS, RAMER RODRIGUEZ
