HYCO1 and Kansas Ethanol collaborate on biogenic CO2 utilization facility
In Texas, HYCO1 announced that it has entered into a 20-year carbon dioxide supply agreement with Kansas Ethanol, located in Lyons, Kansas for the planned construction of a biogenic carbon dioxide utilization facility, Green Carbon Synthetics Kansas, LLC.
HYCO1 said it has created a CO2 conversion catalyst and related low-cost CO2 process technology. HYCO1 CUBE Technology cost-effectively utilizes carbon dioxide and various methane source feedstocks to create low-cost, low-carbon chemical grade syngas in a single pass. The syngas produced is used to produce low carbon intensity (CI) downstream products.
The new HYCO1 project to be co-located with Kansas Ethanol will utilize all of their 800 tons per day of CO2 to produce approximately 60 million gallons per year of low-carbon and zero-carbon products.
Kurt Dieker, Chief Development Officer, and Co-founder of HYCO1, said: “HYCO1 is excited to announce this innovative, next generation project and to collaborate with the Kansas Ethanol team, which runs one of the most advanced ethanol production facilities in the country. While there are many paths that an ethanol facility can take to improve sustainability and margins, ranging from additional energy efficiencies to protein separation, in my opinion CO2 utilization represents the leading value-added step for an ethanol production facility.”
