Pinedale Wyoming based renewable fuels company Raven SR has announced the results of the field trial of its non-combustion equilibrium Steam & CO2 Reforming SR2 unit, which converted methane to transportation-grade hydrogen at a rate exceeding other commercially available technologies for producing hydrogen from methane. Over 95% of the hydrogen currently produced in the US uses Steam Methane Reformation, which has an average first-pass conversion efficiency of only 75-80%.The 12 August trial, held at Raven SR's Benicia Fabrication & Machine facility in Benicia in California, demonstrated to stakeholders at the event, including investors and local officials, how this ground-breaking technology for waste-to-hydrogen and gas-to-hydrogen processes is commercially ready, effective, and efficient.The trial comes on the eve of Raven SR opening its Round C financing, which is expected to close this fall, with Raven SR advised by Barclays and BofA Securities. Raven's roster of strategic investors prior to its Round C launch includes Chevron, Ascent Hydrogen Fund, ITOCHU, Samsung and Hyzon Motors.Raven SR plans to bring its first commercial Steam & CO2 Reforming production facility online in the first half of 2023 at the West Contra Costa Sanitary Landfill in Richmond, Calif., where Raven's facility will convert organic green waste into transportation-grade hydrogen for local customers.The Raven SR technology can produce emissions-free hydrogen fuel and lower-carbon synthetic fuels from a variety of feedstock sources, including landfills, methane, fugitive gas wells, wastewater treatment plants, agricultural and other sites.The patented Raven SR Steam & CO2 Reforming process was originally created by the late Professor Mr Terry Galloway, whose earlier commercial systems were smaller until large scale commercialization by Raven SR. Raven SR's technology is designed to produce hydrogen-rich syngas, the essential building block for clean fuels, efficiently and economically. Raven SR's renewable energy products, such as hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuels, synthetic liquid fuels (diesel, Jet A, mil-spec, JP-8), additives and solvents (such as methanol, butanol, and naphtha), will further promote local and regional energy independence and security.
