The Fischer-Tropsch (FT) process is a catalytic chemical reaction that turns synthesis gas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen) into fuels (liquid hydrocarbons, such as diesel or jet fuel). EDEN Technology suppliers have developed the next generation of GTL (gas-to-liquids) technology. The basic principles of the FT system were utilized in this design. The conventional FT process however produce a wax. This wax is then hydrocracked to produce the various transportation fuels. The Eden process does not produce these waxes. The Eden process is a straight gas to liquids process no wax is produced. This development reduces the capital and operating expenses by about 50%. This development places Eden in an extremely advantageous position. The Eden process enables us to produce value-added clean liquid synthetic transportation fuels from, carbon dioxide captured from power plants and industrial facilities.
EDEN uses unique proprietary patented high productivity catalyst for the synthesis step of the GTL process. The fuels made using our process enable significant greenhouse gas reductions. These products are high-quality versions of existing fuels. They require no changes to engines or infrastructure, meet all specifications and burn cleaner, cutting exhaust pollutants such as particulate matter (soot).
MAKING TRANSPORT MORE SUSTAINABLE
Our technology provides a route to sustainable fuels for aviation and heavy transport, which are difficult to de-carbonise.
PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS
Sustainable aviation fuels are 'drop in' fuels. They require no aircraft engine modification or change of airport infrastructure.
TOWARDS NET ZERO
Creating sustainable fuels for the hard to decarbonise aviation and heavy duty transport sectors. We can even make fuels with negative net greenhouse gas emissions.
EDEN will produce high grade transportation fuels straight from the reactor, no wax hydrocracking and fully compatible with the existing fuel industry infrastructure.
Technology, utilized by EDEN, finally makes production of synthetic transportation fuels, economically feasible by offering significantly lower capital cost and operating expenses, ensuring the GTL process is profitable as a rule rather than an exception.
MAIN ADVANTAGES OF EDEN INCLUDE:
Highly productive catalyst – porous granules of composite material loaded with cobalt nanoparticles. Patents issued in major jurisdictions. Catalyst is produced on industrial scale. Patented GTL fixed-bed reactor design works with proprietary catalysts to increase productivity and reduce CAPEX and OPEX.
MAKING TRANSPORT MORE SUSTAINABLE
Our technology provides a route to sustainable fuels for aviation and heavy transport, which are difficult to de-carbonise.
High quality mono product
Liquid transportation fuels (no heavy waxes) – straight out of the reactor which does not require cumbersome and capital- intensive hydrocracking and upgrading stage.
Elimination of hydrocracking and product
Upgrading facility increases the efficiency of the process and feedstock utilisation.
Reduction in size
The footprint of the reactor is reduced significantly due to higher catalyst productivity (270-300 kg of product per 1 m3 of reactor volume per hour) – an almost threefold increase in comparison with the industry’s benchmarks. This is confirmed by independent testing.
Versatility
Technology allows for utilization of feed gas with varying density, from dry methane up to heavy gases with average molecular weight 24. This is made possible by application of two technologies: firstly, by break-up of heavier hydrocarbons in adiabatic pre-reforming and secondly, by steam/dry reforming, where H2/CO ratio in produced syngas is controlled by variation of CO2 feed rate.
Ecological benefits
EDEN process generates just traces of oxygenates, eliminating the need for rejection units, thus allowing the use of process water in steam reforming block immediately or after a minimal express treatment in degassing boiler, and lowering the environmental impact.
CO2 emission footprint minimisation use of steam/dry reforming allows – unlike competing technologies – to sequester and utilise 75% of the carbon dioxide generated in the technology process.
PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS
Sustainable diesel fuels are 'drop in' fuels. They require no engine modification or change of supply infrastructure.
TOWARDS NET ZERO
Creating sustainable fuels for the hard to decarbonise constructio n, mining, and heavy duty transport sectors. We can even make fuels with negative net greenhouse gas emissions.
PRODUCT POTENTIAL
The product options are unlimited, these are just a few Eden is looking at.
CO2 AQUAFEED & LIVESTOCK FEED
MEETING THE DEMAND OF FEED WITH AN ALTERNATIVE SUSTAINABLE SOURCE OF PROTEIN
Aquaculture is the FASTEST GROWING food production sector. Unfortunately, this growth comes at a cost as the demand of fishmeal requires 15 million tons of wild caught fish per year.
CO2 PROTEIN FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION
It is time to unlock a world of new food diversity that is genuinely sustainable At Eden , we have researched a revolutionary way to produce natural protein by using carbon dioxide. We bring to the market an entirely new kind of food that is both natural, and free from the burdens of agriculture.
CO2 PALM OIL
Palm oil does not need to be a problem. Combat climate change with conflict free palm oil. Using innovative processes found in nature to brew sustainable alternatives to palm oil. Our palm oil is sustainable in fact, it does not even involve palm trees. It does not cause deforestation, endangeri ng precious animal species, or forcing inhumane labour practices.
TURNING CO2 INTO ENDLESS POTENTIAL
We create new value from waste CO2 for the plastics industry. We provide new ways to help plastic manufacturers make products using our novel catalyst technologies. Ways that cost less financially and environmentally. Ways that deliver more. Better products with endless potential
