Projectdetails

Introduction

A novel, highly efficient technology is proposed to enable the synthesis of Carbon Neutral Fuels and Chemicals from CO2 and H2O employing renewable energy.

Technology Overview

The approach is based on an innovative reactor technology that produces cost-effective green precursors for Carbon Neutral Fuels and Chemicals.

Key Features

  • Enables operation at non-demanding, low temperatures
  • Achieves unprecedented efficiency
  • Overcomes many of the key challenges of existing technologies
  • Exploits radical innovations in materials and reactor engineering

Scalability and Integration

The modular, easily scalable reactor design can be integrated into or coupled with a number of technological value chains, processes, and industrial sectors. This provides a sustainable pathway to net zero and helps achieve the European decarbonization goals.

Impact on Industries

This is a cross-cutting, transformative technology for energy-intensive industries, while maintaining the value of past investments in existing infrastructures, such as:

  1. Downstream hydrocarbon processing
  2. Power generation technology
  3. Automotive industry

Just Transition

As such, it consists of a real just transition, one that leaves no one behind. The technology does not disrupt the fabric of society by marginalizing the specialized and capable European workforce in these sectors.

Consortium

The consortium consists of seven partners from five countries and includes:

  • A well-known university
  • An internationally leading energy company
  • A specialized materials and chemicals company
  • A multi-technology renewable energy developer
  • Three innovative SMEs in clean energy & mobility and advanced electronics
