HOUSTON — TritenIAG and ReCarbon have partnered on the design and development of three ReCarbon plasma carbon conversion unit (PCCU) based plants in North America, Australia, and Asia. These facilities are designed to produce CO2-free syngas and clean hydrogen. Additionally, TritenIAG will advise on the design of PCCU-based pathways in multiple downstream value chains, including petrochemicals, specialty chemicals, and fertilizers. ReCarbon’s PCCU transforms carbon emissions into syngas and hydrogen.
