A project combing all four steps required to produce synthetic fuel from air and green power has taken place at a test facility on the premises of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
The synthetic fuels produced are both carbon-neutral and function as a storage for surplus renewable energy. The first litres of fuel were produced from air-captured carbon dioxide and green power.
The project combines technologies which promise optimal use of carbon dioxide and maximum energy efficiency, as mass and energy flows are recycled internally. Project partners include Climeworks, Ineratec, Sunfire and KIT.
