Technology

Capture

Outside air is vacuumed through a molecular sieve to isolate CO2 molecules, increasing CO2 concentration from 0.04% atmospheric to 30%.

Convert

CO2 is reacted with electrolytic hydrogen over a proprietary catalyst to produce CH4 in the Sabatier process.

CO2 + 4H2 → CH4 + 2H2O

Inject

CH4 is fed through an RNG “interconnection” into a natural gas distribution network.

Impact

On Carbon Dioxide Emissions

Use SKYVAC Aeromethane™ to immediately slash CO2 emissions wherever natural gas is used.

Net Carbon Intensity
Kilograms CO2 released per MMBTU
98 kg 0lbs Lignite Coal
53 kg 0lbs Natural Gas
Zero 0lbs Aeromethane

Burning 19 MMBTU of Aeromethane in the place of fossil natural gas eliminates 1 metric ton of CO2 emissions.

A single SKYVAC unit provides the energy demand of 14 gas-heated homes in the U.S. northeast region.

On Methane Emissions

Leakage of unburned “fugitive methane” from natural gas infrastructure is believed to be responsible for around 3% of all global heating.

Over 75% of methane leakage occurs upstream, from drilling operations and long-distance transmission pipelines.

SKYVAC produces and injects renewable natural gas downstream—as close to end users as possible—achieving methane emission intensity lower than any fossil natural gas in the market.
