Captured CO₂
Collected from point sources
PIVOT™ Technology
A standardized, turnkey platform for the lowest-cost synthetic fuel production.
ENABLED BY INTENSIFIED, SIMPLIFIED REACTOR DESIGN
+ HIGHLY SELECTIVE AND PRODUCTIVE CATALYSTS
Proven chemistry, revolutionary engineering.
This is the Lydian difference.
Inputs
H₂
Produced onsite via electrolysis or other low-carbon pathways
Intermittent renewable power
Designed to ramp up and down with the cheapest renewables
Process
Syngas production
CO₂ + H₂ get converted into syngas
Fuel synthesis
Jet fuel molecules are synthesized from syngas
Output
SAF
Compatible with commercial and defense operability requirements
PIVOT™ Syngas
The cheapest, most efficient syngas production technology on the market
**10–100x smaller** than gas-fired reformers
**0.5 kWh/Nm3 CO production**
the most energy-efficient technology on the market
the most energy-efficient technology on the market
**Radically simplified flowsheet** no recycle, syngas compression, gas separations, or primary heat exchanger
**Unprecedented 10-100%
turndown** and fast ramping eliminates H₂ storage buffers
turndown** and fast ramping eliminates H₂ storage buffers
All subsystems and BoP delivered in a **turnkey, standardized package**
PIVOT™ Fuel Synthesis
A modified Fischer-Tropsch process with unprecedented performance
**Modified Fischer-Tropsch** with proprietary reactor + catalyst
**Near-complete syngas conversion** in a single pass, simplifying flowsheet
**High yield to jet fuel and 3–4× more productive** per tonne of reactor mass
Accommodates same **rapid load swings** as H₂ and syngas production
All subsystems and BoP delivered in a **turnkey, standardized package**
Supported by our world-class R&D operations
**25,000 sq. ft.** R&D Center of Excellence
**State-of-the-art** materials synthesis and characterization lab
**High-throughput experimentation platform** supported by AI
**Tonne-scale, integrated pilot** translates advances into full flowsheet
**In-house manufacturing** of proprietary reactor components
Our Roadmap
From rapid innovation to commercialization
