# Proteum Energy

> Proteum Energy is a Phoenix-based cleantech company that turns wasted flare gas and residual hydrocarbons into clean hydrogen, renewable natural gas, and designer fuels. Using its patented modular Flare-to-Fuel platform and steam non-methane reforming (SnMR) technology, Proteum helps oil, gas, and ethanol producers cut emissions and profit from assets that would otherwise be burned off into the sky.

- **Founded:** 2020
- **Headquarters:** Phoenix, Arizona, United States
- **Founders:** Terry Kennon (Executive Vice President & CTO)
- **Team size:** ~13 employees
- **Products:** Flare-to-Fuel (FTF) Platform, SnMR Technology, HDF Base System, H2 for Power Generation, H2 for Transportation
- **Notable:** Emerged from the restructuring of Advanced Green Innovations as Proteum Energy, LLC in August 2020, retaining the Flare-to-Fuel technology., Portfolio of 12 patents with 23 patents pending for its HDF/SnMR technology., Issued a Saudi Arabian patent for reformation of waste and rich natural gas (2022).

## Products & services

- **Flare-to-Fuel (FTF) Platform** — A modular system that receives flare gas or residual hydrocarbon feed onsite and reforms it into fuel-grade gas, eliminating flaring and NGL disposal.
- **SnMR Technology** — Patented steam non-methane reforming that converts non-methane hydrocarbons - such as ethane, ethanol, and other NGLs - into low-carbon-intensity hydrogen and hydrogen-rich designer fuels.
- **HDF Base System** — The Hydrogen Designer Fuel platform that produces low-CI hydrogen, designer fuels, and pipeline synthetic natural gas (SNG) from non-methane feedstocks.
- **H2 for Power Generation** — Low-cost renewable or clean hydrogen produced directly at power plants to replace or blend with fossil fuels.
- **H2 for Transportation** — Regional fuel-cell hydrogen production for FCEV markets across the US.
- **H2 Direct Pipeline** — Clean hydrogen injection into pipelines at midstream facilities.

## Achievements

- Emerged from the restructuring of Advanced Green Innovations as Proteum Energy, LLC in August 2020, retaining the Flare-to-Fuel technology.
- Portfolio of 12 patents with 23 patents pending for its HDF/SnMR technology.
- Issued a Saudi Arabian patent for reformation of waste and rich natural gas (2022).
