PEnG

What PEnG does

PEnG Inc. is a privately held Canadian clean-technology company founded in 2011 and headquartered in Montréal-Est, Quebec. It develops and is commercializing a modular mobile micro-refinery platform that uses proprietary catalytic partial oxidation (CPOX) to convert methane from flared natural gas, bio-gas, and landfill gas into syngas (CO + H₂), which is subsequently processed via Fischer-Tropsch catalysis into green diesel and other sustainable fuels. The core intellectual property is a US patent (allowed in 2025) covering a natural gas refining unit designed to be integrated directly at oil and gas production facility battery sites, allowing waste gas to be converted into saleable fuel on-site rather than vented or flared. Core engineering activities — CPOX optimization, Fischer-Tropsch catalyst design, process design and DCS operation, manufacturing miniaturization — are led by a roughly 11-person team anchored by founder and CEO Prof. Gregory S. Patience, supplemented by five external advisors and a strategic R&D partnership with Polytechnique Montreal.

PEnG generates revenue through two complementary streams: hardware sales of manufactured mobile micro-refinery units deployed at customer sites, and technology licensing/deployment arrangements with oil & gas operators, agricultural operations, and municipalities. Pricing is custom and quote-based, with multi-year contracts and site-specific ROI calculations; an interactive Impact Estimation Tool on the company's website illustrates that 10,000 m³/day of flare gas yields approximately 5,200 liters of green diesel per day and ~$8,320 in potential daily revenue. Go-to-market is enterprise-direct, with website CTAs for "Schedule Demo," "Project Quote," and "Technological Partnership," and the company signals global ambitions through multilingual content (English, French, Brazilian Portuguese).

The company is at an early commercial stage: its sole disclosed funding to date is a $541,300 grant from the Clean Resource Innovation Network in June 2026, headcount is approximately 11 core members plus advisors, no paying customers are publicly named, and no commercial revenue has been disclosed. The strategic positioning targets regulatory and ESG tailwinds from tightening methane-emission rules, monetizing flared gas as a saleable product rather than a wasted liability across three vertical segments: oil & gas operators (primary), agriculture, and municipal waste management.

Revenue model

1. Green Fuel Sales: Revenue generated from selling green diesel and other sustainable fuels produced by micro-refinery units deployed at client sites. Units convert wasted gas into high-value fuels for sale.
2. Technology Licensing/Deployment: Mobile micro-refinery units are manufactured and deployed for oil & gas operators, agricultural operations, and municipalities to convert wasted gas streams into revenue-generating fuel products.

Core offering

PEnG designs, manufactures, and deploys modular mobile micro-refinery units that use proprietary catalytic partial oxidation (CPOX) technology to convert wasted methane streams — flared natural gas, bio-gas, and landfill gas — into syngas (CO + H₂) and subsequently into green diesel fuel. The units are deployed on-site at oil & gas facility battery sites, agricultural operations, and municipal waste sites, enabling clients to monetize stranded gas and reduce methane emissions.

Product overview

PEnG offers a modular system of mobile micro-refineries for converting wasted natural gas (flared, bio-gas, landfill-gas) into high-value green fuels. The core technology consists of a CPOX (Catalytic Partial Oxidation) reactor that converts methane into syngas (CO + H2), which is then processed into green diesel fuel. The company provides an interactive Impact Estimation Tool on its website for prospective clients to calculate potential production and revenue. The system is designed for oil and gas facility integration, with US patent protection for natural gas refining units at oil production facility battery sites.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Topsoe: Global leader in catalysts and process technology for syngas, hydroprocessing, and GTL. Overlaps with PEnG's CPOX and Fischer-Tropsch catalyst domain at a much broader scale, and is a credible incumbent competitor or licensor.
• Chart Industries: Major supplier of gas processing, liquefaction, and cryogenic equipment to the O&G and industrial gas markets. Comparable to PEnG as an incumbent serving the same O&G battery-site customers with established gas-handling infrastructure.
• Air Products and Chemicals: Global industrial gas and syngas/hydrogen producer operating large-scale steam methane reformers and gasification projects. Comparable to PEnG on the syngas production side, though at centralized utility scale rather than mobile micro-refinery scale.

Emerging players

• Primus Green Energy: Developed small-scale gas-to-liquids and biomass-to-gasoline technology using proprietary catalysis. Comparable to PEnG on catalytic conversion of methane/syngas into drop-in liquid fuels in modular, distributed formats.
• ZEG Power: Develops integrated gasification and fuel-cell systems to convert hydrocarbons and biomass into clean power and hydrogen. Comparable to PEnG in the small-scale syngas-from-gas category, though focused on power/hydrogen rather than liquid fuels.

Direct peers

• Capterio: Specializes in monetizing flared and stranded gas globally. Directly comparable to PEnG because both target the same problem — converting flared natural gas into value — though Capterio focuses more on gas-to-power and gas-to-market infrastructure.
• Greyrock Energy: Developer of small-scale, distributed gas-to-liquids systems producing synthetic diesel from flare gas and natural gas. Directly comparable on the catalytic conversion of methane into drop-in liquid fuels at customer sites.
• Velocys: Small-scale GTL technology provider producing synthetic fuels from natural gas and biomass. Compares directly to PEnG on modular Fischer-Tropsch-based fuel production from methane and waste-gas feedstocks.
• CompactGTL: Develops small-scale, modular gas-to-liquids plants using Fischer-Tropsch chemistry. Closely aligned with PEnG's micro-refinery + Fischer-Tropsch approach for converting methane into liquid fuels at distributed sites.

Regional players

• INFRA Technology (METHANEX subsidiary / Methanol-to-Fuels actors): Small-scale natural gas-to-methanol and methanol-to-fuels technology developer. Comparable to PEnG's distributed small-footprint approach of converting stranded or flared gas into liquid fuels at customer sites.
