Syngas Catalysts

BASF recognizes the growing need to provide reliable technology solutions based on abundant natural gas. Syngas, produced from natural gas or coal, is a key intermediate in the emerging technologies for gas-to-liquids (GTL), methanol-to-olefins, coal-to-liquids and fuel cells. BASF is dedicated in providing cutting-edge catalytic technologies for the emerging gas economy.

Products

BASF’s comprehensive portfolio of catalysts for various applications is rooted in profound material science expertise and produced in close cooperation with our customers.

Dry Reforming

BASF's SYNSPIRE^™ catalyst G1-110 was specifically designed to reform methan and methan/CO₂ mixture in significantly dryer conditions than a conventional catalyst.

Thanks to its unique properties and in combination with Linde´s DRYREF´s syngas generation plant a number of compeling benefits in terms of OPEX, CAPEX, and CO₂ footprint can be reached.

Syngas, produced from natural gas or coal, is a key intermediate in the emerging technologies for gas-to-liquids (GTL), methanol-to-olefins and coal-to-liquids.

Methanation for SNG plants

With a new technology and an innovative catalyst concept, CO₂ & H₂ can be used to produce synthetic natural gas (SNG) via the methanation reaction. The SNG produced can be certified as carbon-neutral when considering the utilization of CO₂ in the process feed.

The carbon-neutral SNG product may be entered into the gas grid at any location. It can later be consumed from the grid to use it at any location.
