Montauk Renewables, a renewable energy company specializing in the management, recovery and conversion of biogas into renewable natural gas (RNG), announced this Thursday it has been awarded with a patent for its unique and top-notch fuel conversion technology.
Firstly, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) awarded the company the patent number US11,097,245; for the company’s unique Electric-Powered, Closed-Loop, Continuous-Feed; Endothermic Energy-Conversion Systems and Methods.
Secondly, the system is a top-notch technology that enables near-zero-emissions conversion of agricultural waste; into multiple non-fossil, renewable-fuel alternatives. It is also capable of producing approximately 10-units of renewable energy; for each unit of conventional energy consumed.
Thirdly, the system also sequestrates approximately 25-tons of greenhouse gas equivalent emissions (CO2e) for every single ton emitted. The System works with a continuous-feed, closed loop reactor that also enables it to scale modularly.
