In Canada, Hydron Energy Inc. has received a grant from the Natural Gas Innovation Fund (NGIF). Hydron has developed a first-of-a-kind gas upgrader, the INTRUPTor, to produce low cost renewable fuels such as renewable natural gas (RNG) from biogas, as well as clean hydrogen production from syngas.
The INTRUPTor™ operates in ambient conditions and therefore does not require any feed compressors, vacuum pumps, feed gas drying units, or exhaust gas post-treatment systems to produce pipeline-quality RNG. As a result, the INTRUPTor reduces capital and operating costs by up to 50% and delivers an industry-leading carbon intensity score. Hydron will enter the existing biogas market with multiple sizes of the INTRUPTor solution. The system will upgrade biogas for customers facilities as small as a 100 Nm3/hr and up to 3800 Nm3/hr. The INTRUPTor Mobile Solution will offer onsite gas upgrading to producers that previously wouldn’t be able to upgrade to high quality gas due to challenging cost, size, and location.
