Petrogas

BY-Product Processing/Emissions recycling

Cellulosic Alcohol: Often, there is a Carbon Monoxide (CO) and/or Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) by-product from the processing. PETROGAS’ technology converts the CO/CO₂ into Cellulosic Alcohol and/or Renewable Hydrocarbons (Gasoline, Diesel, DME, Jet Fuel). Therefore, our process is not merely carbon-neutral, but carbon-negative. (See CO₂ Capture and Recycling Technology)

Renewable Propane: Depending upon which feedstock is selected, a Renewable Propane (C₃H₈) can be produced as a by-product.

Biomass-based Renewable Hydrocarbons are chemically identical to their petro-based homologues in every way (other than being petroleum distillates). Renewable Hydrocarbons offer the following advantages over other fuels:

• Because they are biomass-based, they are not only renewable (and sustainable), but also carbon-neutral and therefore, compliant with EPA’s RFS2 by definition.


• Renewable Hydrocarbons do not have the cold weather problems associated with mono alkyl esters (biodiesel).


• Feedstock Flexibility: Renewable Hydrocarbons processing technology is feedstock- flexible: Renewable Hydrocarbons can be produced from almost any biomass.


• Renewable Hydrocarbon processing is “tunable”: the product mix can be optimized to yield more or less of any of the three (3) principal products.


• Renewable Hydrocarbons are Advanced Biofuels and are therefore eligible not only for Tax Credits but also Advanced Biofuels Payments.


• All of the above Advanced Biofuels are pipeline-compatible, fungible assets.
