Raven SR

At Raven SR, we are revolutionizing the way the world uses waste. We take any organic waste and convert it to clean hydrogen and synthetic Fischer-Tropsch fuels through our patented Steam/CO2 Reforming process. We use steam and a chemical process, not combustion, to process mixed feedstock (biogenics, plastics and/or methane) into saleable products in an environmentally friendly, efficient and profitable way. Our story begins in 1885 with Daniel Best – great-grandfather of Dr. Terry Galloway (technology creator) and great-great grandfather of Matt Murdock (Raven SR founder).

Waste to fuels
Raven SR is a clean fuels company that transforms waste – municipal solid waste, organic waste, and methane – into high-quality, clean hydrogen and Fischer-Tropsch synthetic fuels through our uniquely patented Steam/CO2 Reforming technology. The Raven SR process is non-combustion - producing fewer emissions – and can process multiple and mixed wastes simultaneously. The patented process dependably produces a hydrogen-rich synthetic gas regardless of feedstock utilized, extracting the highest volume of output per ton of input.

Raven SR's unique Steam/CO2 Reforming process transforms municipal solid waste, organic waste and methane into clean fuels simultaneously, making it highly versatile in processing different varieties of mixed feedstocks. Raven SR's thermolysis process is non-catalytic and completely non-combustion excluding any air or oxygen, and reducing waste and emissions associated with traditional combustion steam reforming processes.

Unlocking potential
Producing syngas
At the beginning of the process, free oxygen and air are entirely removed from the feedstock before it is fed into the first-stage reformer, so that there is no combustion. As the municipal solid waste, organic waste and/or methane is fed into our reformer, it is heated until it breaks down into syngas without the use of catalysts.

Creating synthetic fuels and hydrogen
The Raven SR difference
Once the raw syngas leaves the first-stage reformer, it is fed into Raven SR's unique and patented second-stage reformer. Without any catalysts, the second-stage reformer converts the remaining methane, polishing the raw syngas into a hydrogen-rich syngas or refined syngas – ideal to produce Fischer-Tropsch synthetic fuels.

Clean Hydrogen
When powering fuel cells, hydrogen produces only water as a by-product, making it among the cleanest energy sources in the world. The difference in emissions for heavy-vehicles is significant. Not only is hydrogen cleaner, but using Rave SR's hydrogen essentially turns landfill and pollution into clean energy, and at a cost that enables the widespread adoption of hydrogen as an energy source.

Synthetic Fuels
As the name suggests, synthetic fuels are synthetic copies of conventional fuels such as diesel and aviation fuels. They are created from hydrogen and carbon gases, rather than refined from hydrocarbons. Compared to traditional fuels, Fischer-Tropsch synthetic fuels are zero-sulfur content, have lower emissions, higher energy content, higher torque, synthetic jet fuel is 5% less dense, a higher flowability, lower freeze point, and higher viscosity.

Synthetic Gas
We produce synthetic gas to be turned into hydrogen and Fischer-Tropsch synthetic fuels

Non-combustion
Raven SR's unique two-stage system is non-catalytic and non-combustion, meaning it is easier to maintain, less expensive, a cleaner end to end process, and produces more fuel per ton of input.

Remove Waste
Whether it is local landfills, medical waste, fugitive emissions, landfill gas, or plastic waste, Raven SR transforms what is polluting our planet into clean fuels – making the planet a better place two times over.

Reduce Emissions
Not only does our non-combustion process significantly reduce process emissions and particulate matters, it also reduces the second largest source of methane emissions on the planet – decomposing organic landfill waste – by diverting waste into cleaner fuels that also have fewer emissions themselves.

Modular Installation
Raven SR's technology is modular and scalable, allowing for expansion to match feedstock availability and the easy replacement of parts. Systems are skid-mounted and can accept mixed and multiple waste streams at the same time.

Today’s world is constantly changing, driven by geopolitics, climate change, population growth, and simple economics. With these massive challenges buffeting our daily lives, it is more important than ever to ensure energy security and independence for local and regional communities, not just nations.

Raven SR offers a simple and efficient solution to provide sustainable energy security and independence at the local level, while reducing waste and emissions from landfills, and addressing many environmental justice concerns.

By simply using local waste to produce hydrogen, our fuel can be delivered directly to gas stations locally, or in the region. This solution does not require long-distance transportation or pipelines.

Raven’s Steam/CO2 Reforming process is non-combustion and has no catalysts so the emissions are minimal, and the technology is designed to capture those emissions, or use them as part of our power source.

Raven SR provides a three part solution. We clean the earth, we produce clean fuels, and we provide local energy security.

With Raven SR, gone are the days of being dependent on fuels shipped in from other nations, transported from state to state, or infrastructure investments to build and maintain pipelines. Our modular units can be replicated in communities across the globe, and reduce climate change by eliminating waste and producing clean transportation grade hydrogen and Fischer Tropsch synthetic fuels.

Starting in 2023, Raven SR will fuel a cleaner future and provide energy security and independence to local and regional communities.

The Raven SR difference

Non-combustion
The Raven SR system uses a chemical process, powered by steam, to break down waste into chemical elements. Therefore, there are essentially no emissions from the system

Green outputs
We create syngas from either organic wastes or natural gas – essentially anything with carbons and hydrogen in it. From this, we can produce clean hydrogen or Fischer-Tropsch synthetic fuels

Cleaning the world
We take waste destined for incineration and landfill and turn it into clean hydrogen and Fischer-Tropsch synthetic fuels while utilizing 100% of the feedstock

Highest safety standards
All Raven SR units are equipped with extremely sophisticated Alert Plus sensors, which can sense multiple gases, should there be any leaks, and automatically shut down plant operations without human intervention
