Syngas Biofuels Energy, Inc. Will Address the Nation's Needs in Gasoline Extenders in Full:

We all were born to live in a clean, energy safe and independent from imported petroleum world.  We will keep the environment clean all over the world yet retaining unlimited driving freedom.  Our gasoline extenders can be used to substitute gasoline in its blends by 60% for butanol, and up to 100% for other gas extenders.  Butanol may substitute up to 20% of diesel or jet fuel as  Argonne Lab states.

Syngas Biofuels Energy, Inc. Mission

Syngas Biofuels Energy, Inc. is the next generation privately held world leading biofuels and chemicals company headquartered in Houston, TX.  Syngas Biofuels Energy, Inc. is well-positioned in developing disruptive proprietary  technologies for low-cost manufacturing of fuel gasoline extender butanol or other chemicals based on our proprietary biocatalysis of synthesis gas  as universal source of carbon and energy with ZERO environmental impact on the Greenhouse Gas Emissions.  Our well protected microbial gene expression platform created by the means of metabolic engineering along with our proprietary patented syngas fermentation process will be used further to manufacture other chemicals to replace sugar- or glycerol-based fermentations. The pathways of carbon flow are being genetically modified in microbial catalysts to ensure that only chemically pure carbon-contained target liquid product is formed in excess from the raw material synthesis gas at great raw material carbon recovery rates.

What Makes Syngas Biofuels Energy, Inc. Technology Unique

Microorganisms fermenting synthesis gas (syngas, a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide) are known as acetogens. One of the oldest known life forms on our planet, acetogens can be traced as far as 3.5 billion years back by the carbon radio isotope analysis along with methanogens. Acetogens are a diverse group of microorganisms with common biochemical pathway known as Wood-Ljungdahl, or Acetyl-CoA pathway, where inorganic materials carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are reduced to the organic compound of the ultimate importance for microbial cell, Acetyl-CoA, and then to acetic acid, or acetic acid and ethanol, or acetic acid/ethanol plus butyric acid and butanol via Aceto-Acetyl-CoA, all at the carbon recovery rate of the raw material (syngas) carbon up to 97% as the final products with 3% balance as the cell carbon.  Acetogens have been studied by a number of prominent scientists nationwide and around the world for the last 60 + years, with numerous reports ranging from isolation techniques and strain characterization to sequencing of some genes and their cloning in heterogeneous microbial hosts. We expect significant new discoveries as the outcome of our project. Our collection of various acetogens from a diverse variety of  ecological niches is a great pool of genes essential for engineering of microbial catalysts fermenting syngas to linear (4 - 5 carbons and up) or cyclic carbon backbone.

                              

Distinct Differences of Syngas Biofuels Energy, Inc. Technology:

  • We do have no CO2 emissions during our proprietary manufacturing process

  • We do have chromatographically pure products as opposite to corn-to-biofuel / corn + biomass or biomass alone-to-biofuel fermentations

  • We do expect significant energy credits for zero CO2 emissions provided by the Federal and State legislations

  • We do expect manufacturing costs for fuel gasoline extender butanol from syngas below $1.00 per gallon  

  • Our customized microbial catalysts are selected by their natural resistance to toxic contaminants  in syngas if any depending on the syngas production method. Our proprietary mutagenesis technology provides for development of a variety of other mutations, for example, by resistance to high concentrations of butanol in "beer" fluid

  • Proprietary custom Bioreactor design for continuous syngas fermentation along with our proprietary microbial cell detaining and return to the bioreactor technology is the paramount component of our manufacturing process

                   

We created a new concept of bioreactor design with dramatically improved rate of  syngas availability for biocatalyst.  Such new generation of bioreactors may operate using syngas with significant initial content of Nitrogen (N2) typical for air-blown gasification.  Nitrogen is stripped out during our proprietary fermentation process with no need for energy-consuming and costly Oxygen Plant used for commercial gasification.  Recent technological advances in non-cryogenic oxygen  separation make cryogenic oxygen plants not always necessary.
