Comparing Syngas with hydrogen-rich TrueFuel

"TrueFuel™ is the Answer"

Compared to Syngas

Syngas is primarily made up of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases. Syngas can be produced from almost any kind of hydrocarbon, including coal, oil and natural gas, by the application of high temperature and steam.

Syngas can be burned, separated into carbon monoxide and hydrogen or converted to a liquid fuel by processes like the Fischer-Tropsch process. Syngas can also be converted to methane, methanol, ammonia and other chemicals.

The production of Syngas can produce substantial polluting emissions, including H₂S. World production of Syngas is estimated at 200 billion cubic meters annually. World production of Syngas puts an estimated 300 million tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere annually. Burning Syngas can also produce other polluting emissions, including NOX.

We believe that TrueFuel is a superior fuel to Syngas. The following table shows the superiority of TrueFuel to Syngas.

Characteristic	Syngas	TrueFuel
Composition	More CO than hydrogen	More hydrogen than CO
Feedstocks	Coal, natural gas, crumb rubber	Fossil or non-fossil carbon, e.g. high sulfur coal, scrap tires, petroleum, and many others
Emissions	CO₂, CO, NO	CO₂, NO, (H₂/CO greater than one, reduces CO emissions)
Uses	Piston engines, turbines, process heating	Piston engines, turbines, process heating, metal cutting
Plant	Must be located near coal, natural gas or other feedstock source	Distributed, can be in remote locations
Expense	Relatively high capital cost	Low cost and available feedstocks
Distributed production	Not practical	Yes
