The future of coal isn’t burned. It’s built.
Latitude Energy develops, licenses, builds, and manages projects that convert coal into clean syngas — the building block for hydrogen, fertilizers, fuels, and chemicals.
One platform. The entire
syngas economy.
01 — What we do
The cornerstones of modern life — fertilizer, fuel, industrial chemicals — depend on supply chains a single disruption can break. Domestic coal, converted rather than combusted, can secure them.
Projects, from concept forward
We originate and structure coal-to-products projects around the world — matching domestic reserves to the hydrogen, ammonia, and fuels markets they can serve.
TRIG™ technology
We license TRIG™ for chemical and fuel production worldwide — the gasification platform built for the low-rank coals that make up over half of global reserves.
Delivery and operations
We carry projects through engineering, construction, and operation — applying the lessons of the largest gasifiers ever built in IGCC service.
Coal in. Syngas out.
Everything from there.
02 — The platform
TRIG™ converts coal into syngas — a versatile intermediate that becomes hydrogen, ammonia, fertilizers, fuels, and chemicals. One feedstock. Total independence.
Domestic coal
Dried and milled — no washing, no slurry. TRIG™ runs on high-moisture, high-ash coals that conventional gasifiers cannot process.
TRIG™ gasifier
A circulating transport reactor with no burners, no molten slag, and no internal moving parts — operating hundreds of degrees below the ash melting point.
Clean syngas
Filtered to greater than 99.99% particulate removal and conditioned for synthesis — ready to become the products below.
Ammonia
Feedstock for fertilizers and industrial chemicals
Urea
The world’s most-used nitrogen fertilizer
Hydrogen
Blue H₂ from syngas with carbon capture
Methanol
Chemical feedstock and clean fuel blending
DME
Clean diesel substitute and LPG blendstock
Synthetic fuels
Fischer–Tropsch diesel and jet fuel from syngas
Not a pilot. Not a demonstration. TRIG™ ran at a 582 MW facility anchored by the two largest gasifiers ever built in IGCC service — and met its design targets.
98.4% of design coal feed. 99.7% of design syngas flow. Roughly 98% carbon conversion. The record is public, and it is the foundation every Latitude project is built on.
Coal is energy security.
03 — Global reserves1.07 trillion tonnes of proven reserves across 70+ nations
Coal remains the most geographically distributed and abundant fossil fuel on Earth — available locally, scalable on demand, and independent of volatile global supply chains.
The challenge has never been the resource. It’s what we do with it. TRIG™ unlocks these reserves as hydrogen, fertilizers, fuels, and chemicals.
Built on decades of
development. Run by operators.
04 — About Latitude
TRIG™ was co-developed with the U.S. Department of Energy over more than two decades — from 20,000+ hours of R&D at the national gasification development facility to full commercial operation.
Latitude Energy carries that platform forward: licensing the technology and developing the projects that turn domestic coal into the products nations import today.
