DG Fuels Awarded U.S. Patent for Breakthrough High Carbon Conversion Approach to Making Synthetic Fuels from Biomass

DG Fuels technology directly addresses the challenge of scaling production to meet the environmental demands of the aviation industry, without the need for new engine development or additional distribution infrastructure.

DG Fuels, LLC, a leading Synthetic Aviation Fuel (SAF) development company, is pleased to announce that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has granted a patent for its proprietary technology related to highly efficient methods and systems for converting biomass into liquid synthetic fuels.

In essence, the patent provides exclusive rights to DG Fuels to make, use, sell, or import hydrocarbon- based fuels such as SAF according to their proprietary process. This patent not only recognizes DG’s proprietary method of producing hydrocarbon-based fuels, but it also applies to the highly efficient production other types of hydrocarbon-based fuels produced from biomass.

DG Fuels has been awarded U.S. Patent No. 12,098,323 covering its high carbon conversion efficiency approach to making biogenic liquid fuels. The process involves the capture and reforming of all process biogenic CO2 and converting it to additional carbon monoxide that can be matched up with incremental green or blue hydrogen to make more synthesis gas for the production of more green fuel with no additional biomass.

The practical impact of this technological approach includes greater scalability, lower dependency on biomass feedstock and dramatically lower unit costs for the synthetic fuel product.
