IH2 drop-in gasoline and diesel fuel technology
What does it do, how does it work, who is it aimed at?
IH2 transforms any type of biomass into high quality drop-in gasoline and diesel fuel. It was invented by GTI and developed by GTI and CRI, a division of Shell.IH2 stands for integrated hydropyrolysis and hydroconversion. IH2 uses a catalyst and hydrogen to convert biomass directly to high quality fuel. There is nothing else like it. It is aimed for anyone with biomass, including wood, cornstover, bagasse, algae or even MSW. IH2 is currently in demonstration scale testing at 5t/day. CRI is licensing this technology throughout the world. they aim to have literally 1000’s of IH2 systems throughout the world soon.
Competitively, what gives this technology an edge?
IH2 makes really high quality gasoline and diesel products directly in one integrated system. IH2 products are infinitely superior product compared to standard pyrolysis oil which is acidic unstable and has a low heating value. Standard pyrolysis oil is also difficult and expensive to upgrade. IH2 is low cost and available in modular systems. Now that the IH2 demonstration testing is finishing up they expect to sell 100’s of IH2 process units, transforming the landscape of the biofuels industry throughout the world. This technology is transformative in nature and represents a major step forward for the industry.
What stage of development is this technology at right now?
CRI is selling these units today.
