Our gasoline makes it possible for everyday drivers to reduce their carbon footprint.
Our Technology
While some technologies produce fuel that requires further refining, our proprietary STG+® system produces gasoline or methanol as an end product. Our solution is modular and scalable, enabling us to strategically deploy facilities in areas with abundant and low-cost feedstock.
We have developed two different pathways to gasoline production, each with the goal of reducing carbon emissions as the world moves towards net zero.
Learn more about these pathways below.
Natural gas-to-gasoline
By using natural gas as the feedstock, Verde’s technology mitigates harmful flaring in oil-producing regions. Instead, it enables producers to use their natural gas to create valuable commodity-grade RBOB gasoline, i.e, the same gasoline we use in our cars but 30% less carbon-intensive.
Our technology generates in-basin demand for natural gas, alleviating pipeline and takeaway constraints, while also reducing flaring and its harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
This enables oil and gas companies to transform this underutilized energy stream into a marketable product, providing a higher-value pathway for monetization of associated natural gas and ultimately reducing carbon emissions.
Biomass-to-gasoline
Verde produces renewable, low-carbon gasoline from biomass, such as agricultural byproducts.
This is a new, cleaner way to produce the same gasoline that’s currently used in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and leverages existing refueling infrastructure.
When gasoline is produced from gasified biomass, Verde puts more carbon in the ground than carbon is released when the gasoline is consumed, resulting in carbon-negative gasoline.
Verde’s renewable gasoline in a traditional internal combustion engine has a lower life cycle carbon intensity than an EV.
About us
Originally founded in 2007 as Primus Green Energy, a number of years have been spent researching and developing our patented STG+® technology. Our demonstration facility has completed over 10,500 hours of demonstration plant operations.
Today, Verde Clean Fuels is leading the introduction of lower-carbon gasoline to the market with the objective of decarbonizing the transportation fuels sector.
