Project description
Building biogas reactors to make cleaner synthetic fuels
Using renewable power sources for the industrial production of chemicals from renewable carbon sources could reduce CO2 emissions significantly. The EU-funded eQATOR project plans to show how biogas could play such a role, by developing scalable catalytic reactor technology for the conversion of biogas to syngas. The reactor will be electrically powered and more efficient than existing tech, enabling conversion into higher-value products such as methanol, hydrogen, and synthetic fuels. The efficiency gains will be demonstrated by electrically heating the catalyst, either by resistive or microwave heating. Implementation of the eQATOR technology is estimated to decrease life-cycle CO2 emissions for syngas production by 60-80 % and save from 7 Mt CO2/year in 2030 to 45 Mt CO2/year in 2045.
