Descripción del proyecto
Una alternativa de alta eficiencia y bajo coste para producir combustibles para aviación sostenibles a partir de CO2 y H2
Los combustibles para aviación derivados de recursos no fósiles son la única forma de disminuir la intensa huella de carbono del transporte aéreo. El proyecto TAKE-OFF, financiado con fondos europeos, reunirá a los principales actores industriales e institutos de investigación destacados para desarrollar un proceso innovador con el que producir combustibles para aviación sostenibles con mayor eficiencia y menores costes en comparación con otras alternativas de conversión de la energía a un estado líquido. Los intentos más modernos dedicados a convertir el dióxido de carbono en carburorreactores conllevan procesos complejos como el proceso de Fischer-Tropsch. La exclusiva tecnología de TAKE-OFF se basará en la conversión de dióxido de carbono e hidrógeno verde en combustible a través del etileno como intermedio. En este proceso, el dióxido de carbono se extrae de gases de combustión industriales y reacciona con el hidrógeno producido mediante electricidad renovable para crear olefinas ligeras.
Objetivo
TAKE-OFF is an industrially driven project that will be a game-changer in the cost effecTAKE-OFF is an industrially driven project that will be a game-changer in the cost effective production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from CO2 and hydrogen. Due to their strict criteria in terms of physical and chemical properties, the aviation sector is highly limited in the number of options for meeting sustainability goals.
The unique TAKE-OFF technology is based on conversion of CO2 and H2 to SAF via ethylene as intermediate. The industrial partners SkyNRG (SAF developer) and FEV (power systems) will team up with ground-breaking research groups at CNRS (catalyst development), TNO (reactor and process design), and RWTH (engine out emissions reduction) to deliver a highly innovative process which produces SAF at lower costs, higher energy efficiency and higher carbon efficiency to the crude jet fuel product than the current benchmark Fischer-Tropsch process. The project will further leverage the investments in the ALIGN-CCUS (ERA-NET ACT) project with the involvement of key industrial players in the development of synthetic sustainable fuels. TAKE-OFF’s key industrial players are RWE (power producer), MHPSE (energy technology provider), and AKEU (electrolysis systems), allowing the demonstration of the full technology chain, utilizing industrial captured CO2 and electrolytically produced hydrogen. The demonstration activities will provide valuable data to the University of Southern Denmark for comprehensive technical and economic and environmental analyses with an outlook on Chemical Factories of the Future. The consortium is further supplemented by the leading industry association, CO2 Value Europe, for communication and exploitation.
The achievement of the project objectives will contribute directly to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, European Green Deal, and the Renewable Energy Directive II, where sustainable aviation fuels are receiving increased attention.
