Sumitomo Corporation of Americas (SCOA) announced today its participation as a sponsor for Syzygy Plasmonics’ pilot program with the nonprofit research institute RTI International, to demonstrate sustainable fuel production at the RTI facility in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA. The new technology has the potential to help decarbonize transportation by converting two potent greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), into low-carbon-intensity fuels that can be used to replace petroleum-based jet fuel, diesel, and gasoline.
The six-month testing period will yield results used to build a technoeconomic analysis for constructing a commercial-scale Syzygy e-fuels plant.
