Syngas industry

The world needs more syngas.

It’s an essential building block in many chemical processes – and it’s already playing a key role in the energy transition. We have efficient, proven solutions to help you produce syngas from a wide range of feedstocks. 

Topsoe and the syngas industry

The cost-efficient and stable production of high-purity syngas is currently vital to the profitability of many businesses. And as demand for cleaner fuels, chemicals and fertilizers grows, so will the demand for syngas. The global market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of more than 11% a year over the next five years.¹ 

As established experts in this field, we can help the syngas industry produce syngas from natural gas and a wide range of alternative feedstocks, including coke, coal, waste, biomaterial and renewable energy like solar, wind and hydro. We have a broad range of proven solutions, and we work continuously to improve them, especially in terms of carbon and energy efficiency.  

Our deep understanding of all syngas-based chemicals and a portfolio of related solutions means we can also provide you with unmatched forward integration flexibility. Our tailor-made syngas solutions are always optimized to provide the highest carbon efficiency and purity while using the least amount of energy and resources.  

Adressing the syngas industry's needs

Whether you are looking at standalone production of green or low-carbon syngas, or using syngas as a step in the production of other products, we have all bases covered. 

Our SynCOR™ autothermal reforming technology is a commercially proven solution that offers plant owners major economies of scale together with a significant reduction in operational expenditure. You can produce both traditional hydrogen and blue hydrogen (using our carbon capture technology, with an industry-leading 99%+ carbon emission reduction). SynCOR™ is also the ideal choice for methanol plants, ammonia plants, gas-to-liquid plants, TIGAS™ gasoline plants and syngas hubs.  

An electrified counterpart to steam methane reforming for blue hydrogen production comes in the form of eREACT™. The heart of the technology is an innovative electrified reactor design, which can convert a variety of feedstocks. including waste, biomass, fossil feedstock and CO2, into blue hydrogen or other chemicals and fuels. With the eREACT™ technology, it is possible to develop new production routes combining renewable electricity and natural gas while greatly reducing flue gas emissions.
