Syngas Production Costs - Q2 2023
Syngas Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Syngas (a.k.a. Synthesis Gas) is composed primarily of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen. It is a combustible gas used as a fuel source or as an intermediate for chemicals production. Syngas may be produced from several carbon sources, either fossil feedstocks (e.g. coal, petroleum or natural gas) or renewable feedstocks (e.g. biomass, wood). This gas can be produced on industrial scale via different routes, including steam methane reforming, partial oxidation, and dry reforming; its composition varies significantly according to the process technology, the feedstock and process operating conditions.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Syngas production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2023).
Syngas Production from Natural Gas (Autothermal Reforming)
This report presents the economics of Syngas (Synthesis Gas) production from natural gas using a typical autothermal reforming process. In this process, methane present in natural gas is converted to syngas by steam and oxygen. The economic analysis is based on the construction of a plant located in the United States.
