Project description
A viable route to electrofuels production
High-density electrofuels (e-fuels) produced with the help of electricity from renewable energy sources, water and CO2 from the air are crucial to decarbonising long-haul transport. Mildly oxygenated compounds could help overcome the limitations of known e-fuels (such as non-oxygenated Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbons or heavily oxygenated methanol), but there is not an efficient route for their production. The EU-funded E-TANDEM project will develop a hybrid process to convert CO2, water and renewable energy to higher oxygenate e-fuels that integrates three types of catalysis. The new e-fuel production process will be demonstrated at a bench scale and will be tested to assess its capacity to cope with fluctuating energy inputs.
