Project description
Mega-scale production of syngas from water and CO2
Power-to-X technologies create carbon-neutral and renewable synthetic fuels by capturing CO2. They are one of the most promising ways to massively store energy produced intermittently by renewables and accelerate our transition to more sustainable forms of energy. Among these technologies are solid oxide electrolyser cells (SOECs). SOECs have advanced significantly over the years, and they are poised for a breakthrough. The EU-funded MegaSyn project could provide it as it plans to enable the world’s first demonstration of mega-watt scale syngas production by co-electrolysis of water and CO2 in an industrial environment. Success could pave the way for the sustainable decarbonisation of key contributors to emissions, including the iron and steel industry, the chemicals industry and commercial transport.
Fields of science
Programme(s)
- H2020-EU.3.3. - SOCIETAL CHALLENGES - Secure, clean and efficient energy Main Programme
- H2020-EU.3.3.8.2. - Increase the energy efficiency of production of hydrogen mainly from water electrolysis and renewable sources while reducing operating and capital costs, so that the combined system of the hydrogen production and the conversion using the fuel cell system can compete with the alternatives for electricity production available on the market
