Voices of our past participants

Gastech is one of the leading industrial gas conferences globally. Syzygy’s unique technology that uses the power of light to help electrify the production of hydrogen, syngas, and fuel was very well received. It is a true honor to be selected as a winning company at the Gastech Start-Up Competition and we can’t wait to attend again in Milan next year!

It was on honor to be selected to compete in the Gastech Start Up Competition with a diverse group of very talented and compelling new technology companies. It was an even bigger honor when Transform Materials’ microwave plasma process to convert low value hydrocarbon streams into clean hydrogen and acetylene was selected as the winner of the hydrogen group.
