Higher Grade.
Lower Cost.
Carbon Negative.
Our Why
leading the Global transition from fossil to Carbon-Negative synthetic Fuels.
Synergetic’s process enables high-performance, carbon-negative, and cost-competitive synthetic fuels at gigawatt scale.
Synthetic fuels are drop-in substitutable for diesel, gasoline, and Aviation fuel without the need for retrofit of existing engine or turbine infrastructure.
Our solution exists at the convergence of recent step-change innovations in thermal power, electrolysis, and carbon capture from atmosphere and seawater.
Synergetic’s mission is the most imperative opportunity of the 21st century. We are engineers, systems integrators, and operators who have dedicated our careers to delivering economic clean power through advanced energy projects.
Our Markets
Synergetic delivers chemically-superior and carbon-negative substitute fuels, viable across the most difficult-to-decarbonize sectors of our economy. We have settled on Aviation as our highest priority sector and ‘thin wedge’, to solve the current market problem of scarce and expensive turbine-ready sustainable fuels.
Syntholene Marine
In 2019, the global merchant shipping fleet consisted of nearly 56,000 vessels, carrying approximately 11 billion metric tonnes of cargo. This does not include over 4,400 passenger vessels, over 3,300 military vessels, nor the global fleet of 30 million pleasure craft. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) projects that marine shipping activity will increase up to 250% by 2050 from 2019 levels. The industry consumed approximately 270 billion liters of liquid fuels in 2019.
Syntholene Aviation
Today the aviation market demands over 360 billion liters of fuel per year. Energy agencies project this demand will increase to over 900 billion liters per year by 2050. Electrification with known technologies is not viable to replace the high energy density fuel inputs required to operate jet turbines.
Airlines often pay a ~350%+ price premium for limited amounts of clean fuels. Even with these price premiums, supply remains scarce. Synergetic delivers capital-efficient substitute fuel for airlines worldwide, uncapped by the inherently limited supply of expensive biowaste inputs, such as waste food oil or crops.
Our How
The fuels in use today throughout the global transport system are almost exclusively liquid hydrocarbons refined from petroleum. Their combustion emits carbon dioxide as well as a plurality of other pollutants. Liquid fuels are indispensable to modern society, consumed at a rate of over 4.4 trillion liters per year, and growing.
Synthetic fuels are both chemically-superior to petroleum-based fuels, as well as synthesized from abundant clean feedstocks such as air and water.
Fuel synthesis technology has existed for over 100 years, although it has historically required emissions-intensive energy inputs. Synergetic delivers novel synthetic fuel production solutions that utilize clean and low-cost energy to produce carbon-neutral fuels beyond the limited constraints of biofuel inputs and fossil fuel reserves.
