Greenlyte Carbon Technologies opens world’s first LiquidSolar SNG plant

In Germany, Greenlyte Carbon Technologies is inaugurating the worldwide first LiquidSolar SNG plant in Duisburg, marking a decisive step from development towards industrial production of synthetic fuels (e-fuels). This milestone positions Greenlyte as a technology leader for innovative, competitive new energy carriers and strengthens North Rhine-Westphalia’s role as a leading hub for future industries. LiquidSolar SNG serves as the first plant combining a direct synthesis use case with Greenlyte’s green molecule platform LiquidSolar™, in this case synthetic natural gas. 

LiquidSolar™ is Greenlyte’s fully electrified, modular system uniquely combining carbon capture with green hydrogen production to deliver high purity syngas for downstream synthesis into e.g.  e-methanol, sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) – and this at fossil-competitive costs.

With its flagship LiquidSolar SNG project, Greenlyte will demonstrate the commercial readiness of its technology over the next years. The total engineering to inauguration phase took less than 12 months and the final build-out of the plant less than three months. The plant will deliver five tons of SNG per year and has a carbon removal capacity of 40 tons CO₂ annually.

Greenlyte’s technology is modular, scalable and ready for the market. Over 13,000 operating hours in pilot projects demonstrate its reliability. The Duisburg facility is a first step in a comprehensive industrialization strategy: by 2027, a scaled plant producing e-Methanol is planned for Marl/Germany, and entry into international markets is targeted by 2030. Greenlyte has already secured long-term offtake agreements with leading companies such as Eurowings and MB Energy.
