Secant Fuel carbon capture technology: The fastest pathway
to greenhouse gas reductions.

Repurposing CO₂ is a practical
solution to reach 2040 targets.

Our Solution

We convert captured carbon into syn gas, taking on two critical challenges in the energy transition:

Decreasing dependency on
fossil fuels.

We turn carbon dioxide (CO₂) into low-carbon fuel alternatives. Syn gas can be consumed as a fuel or a base chemical, or it can be converted into methanol, diesel and SAF.

Reducing the costs of carbon capture.

By converting a waste stream into a value stream we unlock carbon capture projects.

Our Technology

Our straightforward and flexible technology aligns with current infrastructure and allows our customers to lower their carbon emissions up to 80% without the need for a Green Premium.

Our technology has been developed by the world-renowned Biomass Technology Laboratory of the Université de Sherbrooke (UdS) and matured in partnership with the Canadian government's research institute.

Flexibility in our ability to convert CO₂ from various industrial sources.

There is no need to remove impurities from the CO₂ and as our reactor operates under atmospheric pressure there is no need for CO₂ compression.

Flexibility in our basic input requirements.

The energy input for our reactor is heat. Depending on the site conditions, this can come from renewable electricity, waste heat or another source.

Flexibility in our output of higher value.

We can adapt the H2 to CO ratio from 1:1 up to 3:1. This provides flexibility to the consumer or e-fuel producer, making the next step of the process more efficient.

A Unique, One-Step
Power-to-X Conversion

Our technology significantly lowers the Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) and Operational Expenses (OPEX) of carbon conversion through the elimination of the electrolysis.

Capture

We use carbon captured from flue gases prior to its release into the atmosphere in our production. For every liter of fuel we make, the world needs one less liter of fossil fuels, thus we abate CO₂ emissions. In other words, we close the carbon cycle and create a circular carbon economy.

No Electrolysis

We do not require electrolysis as part of our process. Classic Power-to-X technologies rely on electrons to split molecules, making it reliant on the cost of electricity and requiring significant infrastructure.

Convert

Our conversion process involves utilizing heat and a catalyst to transform CO₂ and water molecules into syngas. This approach eliminates our reliance on specific energy sources, aligning our technology with existing classical chemical reactors found worldwide.

Output

Syn gas is an essential building block. Today it used in markets like the petro-chemical industry, refining, and steel production. But it can also be converted into methanol, SAF, diesel and more.
