OctaneX Technologies Granted a Foundational Syngas-to-SAF Patent by USPTO
OctaneX Technologies, Inc. (OXT) announces the granting of U.S. Patent No. 12,291,683 for “Processes and Systems for Production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel from Syngas Via Mixed Alcohols” by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
The issued patent includes 30 claims covering processes for producing aviation fuel from syngas. The syngas may be made from any suitable carbon-containing source, including biomass, biogas, natural gas, carbon dioxide, municipal solid waste, and plastic waste. The syngas with an optimized H2/CO ratio is catalytically converted to mixed alcohols having an optimized carbon number for the purpose of producing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The mixed alcohols are converted to mixed olefins that are oligomerized and hydrotreated to produce stabilized mixed hydrocarbons as SAF.
