Siluria Technologies
Siluria Technologies, Inc. was a San Francisco-based research company founded in 2007.[1] It attempted to develop a commercial method to convert natural gas into ethylene, gasoline or diesel fuel using chemical catalysts.[2] The company received over $100m from four rounds of start-up funding from venture capital firms and Saudi Aramco. A test run of the system produced gasoline in Hayward, California in August 2014.[3][4][5]
McDermott, an engineering firm, purchased Siluria in 2019. McDermott emerged from bankruptcy and spun off its Lummus division including Siluria’s intellectual property and a demonstration plant in La Porte, Texas in 2020.
