CANE(TM) – Carbon net-negative process for syngas production and net-neutral green hydrogen production
Description. CANE(TM) process allows to efficiently produce green hydrogen through total electrification and energy integration. With exogenous CO2 (sources are, for instance, stell mills, concrete production plants, tyles production plants, power generation plants), CANE(TM) becomes a net-negative process for the sconditioned syngas production.

SACS(TM) process – New firebox for gas fields, refineries and reforming processes
Description. A completely new process and apparatus to split the H2S into (blue) hydrogen and elemental sulfur according to the reaction H2S = H2 + 0.5 S2 by means of catalytic technology and at mild operating conditions. The splitting is sustained thermally within a firebox. The firebox could be a completely new dedicated unit, a refurbished unit by exploiting existing thermal sources installed by the field, electrical. Laboratory testing have been accomplished; pilot-scale testing are ongoing.

Process and plant for hydrogen generation
Description. A new process aimed at partially oxidizing H2S into hydrogen and SO2. SO2 can be adopted for the synthesys of sulfidric acid, while blue hydrogen is generated. The main reaction occurs in a thermal chamber at appropriate temperature. The stability of SO2 with respect to other sulfur oxides is ensuring high selectivities.
