Syngas Market Overview:

The syngas market is largely propelled by its widespread adoption as a feedstock for the production of various fuels, including synthetic natural gas (SNG), hydrogen, and liquid fuels, such as methanol and synthetic diesel. Additionally, this gas is increasingly important for diversifying energy sources and reducing the reliance on conventional fossil fuels, which is augmenting the market growth further. For instance, Air Products was awarded a long-term onsite contract to supply syngas to Jiutai New Material Co. Ltd for its high-value mono-ethylene glycol project in Hohhot, China. The facility/plant was designed to produce over 500,000 Nm3/hr of syngas, comprising five gasifiers, two approximately 100,000 Nm3/hr air separation units (ASU) with syngas purification and processing, and associated infrastructure and utilities.

Moreover, Maire Tecnimont SpA announced that NextChem was granted a contract by Storengy to study waste wood and solid recovered fuel conversion plant to produce biomethane in France. NextChem is anticipated to be responsible for the engineering services and cost approximating for the syngas purification, methanation unit, and methane upgrading.

Syngas Market Trends:

Increasing Demand from the Chemical Industry

Syngas represents a primary intermediate in the production of several chemicals, including ammonia, methanol, hydrogen, and synthetic fuels. The demand for these chemicals is bolstered by various factors, such as population growth, urbanization, industrialization, and changing consumer preferences. Furthermore, the rising shift towards specialty chemicals or bio-based products is positively influencing the demand for syngas as a feedstock. For example, ammonia production in the United States was estimated to be 14 million metric tons. Sixteen companies produced it at 35 plants in 16 States. About 60% of the total US ammonia production capacity was in Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas because of their large natural gas reserves.

Moreover, according to the US Geological Survey, it is estimated that global ammonia capacity is expected to increase by 4% during the next four years. Capacity additions are anticipated in Africa, Eastern Europe, and South Asia.

Technological Advancements in Syngas Production

The continuous advances in gasification and syngas purification technologies to improve the efficiency, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness of synthetic gas production are stimulating the market growth. In addition to this, innovations in catalyst development, reactor design, and process optimization contribute to the commercial viability of syngas-based processes, driving market growth and adoption in various industries. For example, Pertamina and Air Liquide Indonesia agreed to collaborate in developing carbon capture and utilization technology at the Balikpapan refinery processing unit. Within the framework of this joint study agreement, Pertamina and Air Liquide are expected to conduct a joint study on CO₂ syngas and Flue-Gas capture technology application from hydrogen production.

Similarly, Charwood Energy partnered with Verallia Group to build a greenfield facility to produce syngas using pyrogasification of biomass. The strategy shall aid the company in increasing its share in syngas market.

Latest Industry News:

• Shell PLC entered into a decarbonization agreement with Tokyo Gas Co. and Osaka Gas Co. for the natural gas and carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) projects. By 2030, these Japanese companies aim to replace 1% of the gas currently delivered with biomethane-based synthetic gas, or syngas.
• Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. collaborated with the government of the Republic of Uzbekistan and Uzbekneftegaz JSC to obtain a natural gas-to-syngas processing facility in Qashqadaryo Province, Uzbekistan for an amount of US$ 1 Billion.
