Why Synthetic Fuels?
Why natural gas, biomass or coal to produce synthetic fuels?
Combining plentiful domestic feedstocks with Accelergy’s synthetic
fuel process offers a fuel that reduces dependence on imported oil
and, in many cases, meets or exceeds the requirements for low carbon
fuels.
Consider these facts about domestically sourced synthetic fuels:
-
Abundant Supply: Our target markets, the United
States and China, are rich in abundant natural resources that
can be converted into synthetic fuels. For example, the shale
gas revolution in the United States has unlocked tremendous
natural gas reserves that could provide all of transportation
fuel America needs for at least the foreseeable future.
Additionally, there are significant supplies of renewable
biomass and coal feedstocks that can provide a clean, secure
energy future for generations to come.
-
Environmental Benefits: Combining our proven
synthetic fuel conversion technologies with TerraSync®, our
proprietary terrestrial CO2 capture and recycle technology,
Accelergy can produce fuels with a smaller carbon footprint than
fuels produced from traditional petroleum refining. In fact,
Accelergy can tailor TerraSync® to remove more CO2 from the
atmosphere than is generated from the production and combustion
of the fuels we produce.
-
Reliable Sources: Natural gas and coal currently
provide the US with more than three-quarters of its electricity.
Using advanced exploration and production technologies, new and
increasing reserves of natural gas have been found, dramatically
extending the proven reserves in the US. Additionally, our biomass
feedstocks can be grown domestically on land deemed unsuitable for
food crop cultivation.
