Andrew Tong has over 11 years of experience in developing technologies for CO2 capture, H2 production, and chemical synthesis. Notably, Andrew worked in developing Ohio State University’s moving-bed chemical looping technologies. He led the design, construction and demonstration of the 250 kWth Syngas Chemical Looping pilot test unit at the National Carbon Capture Center. This work resulted in the licensing of the technology to Babcock & Wilcox. For the last 4 years, he served as the R&D manager at Susteon Inc., supporting the development and demonstration of multiple CO2 capture and conversion technologies. He has experience in gas-solid flow systems and process design, safety, and economic assessment.

Andrew received his PhD in 2014 in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Ohio State University under the supervision of Professor Liang-Shih Fan. He served as a Research Assistant Professor at Ohio State University for 7 years, leading the development of 3 chemical looping pilot demonstration units. Andrew joined Susteon Inc, in 2021, leading and supporting the development of multiple technologies including direct air capture, CO2 hydrogenation to olefins and LPG, methane pyrolysis, and solvent-based CO2 capture.
