Demonstration of synthetic renewable fuel for aviation and/or shipping

 

Demonstration of innovative technological pathways for the production of synthetic renewable fuels for aviation and /or shipping from renewable energy, CO2, and/or renewable carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen or their compounds, as for example renewable synthetic paraffinic kerosene, renewable methanol/methane and renewable ammonia. Pathways via production of renewable hydrogen or renewable hydrogen ionic compounds from all forms and origins of renewable energy (e.g. electricity, direct sunlight, heat) are in scope. Cost reduction compared to current state of the art including via electricity pathways and above state of the art GHG reduction from fossil fuel equivalents are expected to be shown. An assessment for the scalability potential of the technology, as well as for the overall energy efficiency, the GHG emissions and sustainability based on life cycle analysis should be included. Proposals should provide information and assessment about the economic feasibility of the technology at commercial scale as appropriate The exploitation plans should include preliminary feasibility study and business plan also indicating the possible funding sources to be potentially used (such as private equity, the InvestEU, the EU Catalyst Partnership and the Innovation Fund).
