This technology is a tandem catalytic system that maximizes the efficiency of biogas fixation into carbon nanofibers and hydrogen-enriched syngas.
Conventional methods of converting biogas into more valuable products are hindered by several drawbacks that limit their commercial viability and sustainability. Current processes are energy-intensive, require high operating temperatures, and often generate low-quality outputs. This is partly due to issues such as catalyst instability, carbon buildup, and poor hydrogen-to-carbon ratios.
This technology uses a tandem catalytic process to transform raw biogas into carbon nanofibers and hydrogen-enriched syngas. The tandem process enables the formation of syngas and carbon nanofibers under separately optimized conditions, resulting in increased efficiency. A specially engineered catalyst enables carbon formation while suppressing unwanted side reactions, resulting in a high-quality yield. The integration of non-thermal plasma in the conversion of biogas to syngas enables near-room-temperature operational conditions, further reducing energy expenditure. These optimizations enable biogas fixation to become a commercially viable strategy with high-value outputs.
