Syzygy Plasmonics says a commercial plant using its technology would consume nearly 200,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.

Syzygy Plasmonics says it has successfully demonstrated an electric carbon dioxide-to-fuels process with the nonprofit research institute RTI International. Syzygy used its photocatalytic technology to convert CO2 and methane into synthesis gas—a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. RTI then turned the syngas into hydrocarbons in its Fischer-Tropsch plant. Syzygy investors Equinor Ventures and Sumitomo Corporation of Americas sponsored the project.
