The molecular revolution: Why A.H.T. Syngas wins where BASF invests billions and EQTEC paves the way
While policymakers preach electrification, practitioners in heavy industry know that process heat and chemical raw materials require molecules. This is where synthesis gas (syngas), an old acquaintance, is celebrating a spectacular renaissance. Syngas is the backbone of modern chemistry, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide without which neither fertilizers, plastics, nor synthetic fuels could exist. Market forecasts from research firms like MarketsandMarkets and Grand View Research paint a similar picture: the global syngas market is expected to grow at high single- to double-digit rates through 2030, expanding from several dozen billion US dollars today to a significantly larger market. Three parallel developments are currently taking place in this gigantic growth market. While chemical giant BASF validates the demand and EQTEC proves the large-scale feasibility, German technology specialist A.H.T. Syngas Technology (A.H.T.) is disrupting decentralized applications. We analyze the market and the key players.
