NxtGen's core technology is the non-catalytic Syngas Generator which enables diesel engine aftertreatment and gasoline engine combustion optimization systems. Syngas is the name given to a gas that contains hydrogen and carbon monoxide and it has been used in the petrochemical industry for many decades. 

NxtGen has integrated petrochemical and automotive industry technologies to produce an innovative miniaturized Syngas Generator. NxtGen has also patented unique system control algorithms that optimize the use of syngas for regenerating diesel particulate filters and lean NOx traps. The use of syngas is superior to diesel fuel because it combusts at significantly lower temperatures and enables up to a 60% reduction in platinum group metal catalyst loadings resulting in significant system cost savings.

NxtGen's Syngas Generator is superior to catalytic and plasma reformers because:

• No catalysts are used that degrade performance 
• Insensitive to diesel fuel contaminants including sulfur
• Starts-up quickly and rapidly follows changes in engine load
• Simple, reliable, modular system 
• Made of automotive industry standard materials using volume manufacturing processes

The Syngas Generator is a platform for advanced emission reduction and combustion technologies including: 

• Active regeneration of Diesel Particulate Filters
• Lean NOx Trap regeneration and desulfurization
• Hydrocarbon – selective catalytic reduction
• Enable lean combustion optimization in gasoline engines
• Fuel supply for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell auxiliary power units
• Syngas supply for hydrocarbon fuel conversion processes
