Proteum Energy LLC specializes in producing low-cost, low-carbon renewable and clean hydrogen and designer fuels from hydrocarbons. The private company is based in Phoenix, AZ. The company's core technology, the Hydrogen Designer Fuel (HDF) system, uses proprietary steam non-methane reformation (SNMR™) to convert non-methane hydrocarbon feedstocks such as ethanol, natural gas liquids, and methanol into low carbon-intensity hydrogen, hydrogen-rich fuels, and pipeline synthetic natural gas. The modular HDF system supports co-production of multiple fuel products and offers optional modules for CO2 separation, hydrogen separation, and methanol production, enabling applications in turbine fueling, natural gas pipeline hydrogen blending, and fuel cell quality hydrogen for transportation. Proteum Energy’s platform addresses clean energy challenges across power generation, transportation, and midstream sectors, offering flexible partnership models and pre-engineered project designs. Laurence B. Tree II has been the CEO of the company since 2020.
