Syzygy Plasmonics Demonstrates Groundbreaking CO2-to-Fuel Solution with RTI International
HOUSTON, May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Syzygy Plasmonics announced today that it along with the nonprofit research institute RTI International have successfully demonstrated an all-electric CO2-to-Fuel production pathway at RTI's facility in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA. The new technology can significantly decarbonize transportation by converting two potent greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), into low-carbon-intensity fuels that can be used to lower the carbon footprint of fossil-based jet fuel, diesel, and gasoline. The pilot project was sponsored by Equinor Ventures and Sumitomo Corporation of Americas (SCOA).
