Primary audience
Strategic investors
Own a defensible technology position in a critical PtX process step — with capital-light scaling and strategic M&A optionality.
Investment thesis → Secondary audienceEPC & plant builders
Integrate a standardized syngas module instead of developing the RWGS core from scratch.
Integration path → Tertiary audiencee-SAF & e-fuel offtakers
Enable scalable low-carbon fuel projects by addressing the green-syngas bottleneck upstream.
Application value →The missing process step
The e-fuel value chain needs green syngas.
Fischer-Tropsch e-fuels and e-methanol need a reliable source of syngas from renewable hydrogen and captured CO₂. Today, this conversion step is still a major technical and economic bottleneck.
RWGS+ is designed to close that gap with a highly modular microwave-plasma process that can sit between hydrogen/CO₂ supply and downstream synthesis.

e-fuels / e-SAFTechnology edge
Built around the economics that make PtX projects work.
The RWGS+ architecture targets high conversion, low complexity, modular scaling and flexible syngas production — without a catalyst dependency.
Low CAPEX
Simplified high-temperature process and standardized hardware architecture.
Dynamic optimization
Operating strategy can respond to electricity, feedstock and market price changes.
Modular & scalable
Scale by adding standardized modules instead of redesigning the core process.
Variable syngas ratio
H₂:CO from 1:1 to above 2:1 for different downstream pathways.
Direct tail-gas reforming
Designed to accept recycled FT tail gas without separate pre-reforming.
No catalyst
Lower catalyst-related CAPEX, maintenance and replacement exposure.
NextGen design
Designed for low soot formation and reduced metal dusting risk.
Productized for EPC integration
A standardized module for industrial plants.
The technology is embodied in standardized 1 MW, 40-foot container modules designed to give EPC partners a repeatable building block for e-fuel plants.

✓Commercial off-the-shelf microwave generators
✓Standardized interface for EPC-led plant integration
✓Parallel modular scaling from prototype to commercial plant
Economics — the core USP
Targeting a ≥20% syngas cost advantage.
Under the current pitch-deck assumptions, RWGS+ targets materially lower syngas cost than state-of-the-art RWGS, co-SOEC and microwave-plasma routes.
Indicative syngas cost€/t
Pitch-deck calculation basis: €0.05/kWh electricity · €2.5/kg H₂ · €150/t CO₂ · H₂:CO = 1.8:1. Target values, not guarantees.
Capital-light business model
EPC-led scale. refuel.green value capture.
EPC partners bring global project execution and customer access; refuel.green provides the core technology, equipment margin and recurring licensing.

One core molecule. Multiple markets.
Syngas is the gateway to hard-to-abate molecules.
RWGS+ is positioned upstream of several large PtX value chains, creating strategic relevance beyond one single end product.
