EReTech will devel­op and val­i­date a trans­for­ma­tive elec­tri­cal­ly heat­ed reac­tor togeth­er with the tai­lored cat­a­lyst for steam methane reform­ing.
Based on SYPOX tech­nol­o­gy the reac­tor hosts ceram­ic sup­port­ed struc­tured cat­a­lyst, elec­tri­cal­ly heat­ed by inter­nal direct resis­tive heat­ing ele­ments. This achieves an ener­gy effi­cien­cy close to 95% and a reac­tor vol­ume that is two orders-of-mag­ni­tude small­er.
EReTech final goal is to offer solu­tions for the decen­tral­ized mar­ket and for the decar­boniza­tion of exist­ing or new cen­tral­ized reform­ing plants.
