Technology & Products

Key Products

Proprietary Fischer-Tropsch (DEFT) and Reverse Water-Gas Shift catalysts, sustainable aviation fuel production technology, renewable diesel, synthetic paraffin for cosmetics/coatings/lubricants, and engineering services for carbon-to-liquids projects.

Technological Advantage

Proprietary binder jetting and post-processing techniques that achieve hermetic sealing in ceramic components, overcoming a key limitation in ceramic AM for large-scale applications.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Provides catalyst technologies and engineering services that convert carbon dioxide emissions into renewable fuels and products, enabling carbon-neutral operations for hard-to-decarbonize industries.

How They Differentiate

Focuses specifically on solving the leak-tight joint challenge for ceramic binder jetting, unlike competitors who primarily offer general ceramic AM systems without specialized sealing solutions.
