Report validates Syntholene Energy’s thermally integrated synthetic fuel pathway
The Report was authored by Robert Rapier, a globally recognized oil and gas expert with a reputation for rigorous analysis of fuel production systems. He determined that Syntholene’s thermally integrated electrolysis platform is engineered to deliver unsubsidized hydrogen production costs in the range of $1.50 to $2 per kilogram under favorable conditions. Hydrogen is the dominant cost in synthetic aviation fuel production and generating it at low cost is central to achieving cost competitive synthetic fuel. Current unsubsidized estimates of analogous green hydrogen prices include $6.69 per kilogram in Europe and $6.90 per kilogram in North America.
The Report confirms that by substituting heat for a portion of its electricity demand, Syntholene’s system can operate using less than 37 kilowatt-hours per kilogram of hydrogen (kWh/kg H₂). The Company’s process has the potential to produce hydrogen and synthetic aviation fuel at a cost competitive with fossil-derived aviation fuel.
