Electrofuels · Seasonal storage
Vulcan Fuels converts intermittent renewable electricity into drop-in liquid hydrocarbons. Energy you can store for a season, ship in a tanker, and burn in engines that already exist.
Applications
Data center power
Our Ultra Long Duration Energy Storage systems shape and firm renewable generation across seasons, banking it as liquid fuel when power is abundant and releasing it as firm, dispatchable megawatts when the load curve refuses to wait.
How ULDES worksTransportation
Built around low-cost off-grid solar, the Fuel Forge produces carbon-neutral jet, diesel and marine fuel at a landed cost that competes with the commodity barrel. Aviation and shipping decarbonize without waiting for a new fleet.
Where it runsDefense
Paired with a portable small modular reactor, a containerized Fuel Forge makes diesel and jet fuel inside the wire. The unit moves by cargo aircraft, which turns a thousand-mile fuel convoy into a local utility.
Program enquiriesThe Vulcan cycle
A sorbent contactor pulls carbon dioxide directly from ambient air. The capture stage runs hardest when power is cheapest, so the plant breathes with the grid.
Electrolysis divides water into hydrogen and oxygen. This is the step that consumes the renewable surplus that would otherwise be curtailed and thrown away.
Hydrogen and captured carbon meet across our catalyst stack and reassemble into long-chain hydrocarbons at near-ambient pressure.
A nanotube membrane sorts the product into gasoline, jet and diesel cuts. What comes out is chemically identical to fuel from a refinery, minus the well.
Because every carbon atom in a Vulcan barrel was taken out of the atmosphere first, combustion returns it to the same place. The cycle closes. No reservoir, no well, no net addition.
Deployment
From central grid infrastructure to the most remote operating environment on the map.
Firm power, 24 hours a day
Seasonal shaping and firming makes a renewable-heavy grid behave like a conventional one. Our systems supply spinning reserve and real rotating inertia, using familiar generators for peaking and baseload duty.
Renewable electricity and fuel, anywhere
ULDES and Fuel Forge are built to run on intermittent input and need no interconnection. They work when the sun is up and the wind blows, bank the energy as liquid, and sit idle without complaint when it stops.
Backed by those shaping the future
The world's energy system needs storage that lasts a season and fuels made from electricity. That is the whole company. We are building the plant that does both.
