We are glad to announce that our partner RWE will present the scientific paper “Closing the Carbon Cycle – Demonstrating back-up power production from e-Fuels in gensets and recycling of the engine exhaust gas”, which explains a crucial aspect of the ECO2Fuel project, at the 17th Greenhouse Gas Control Technology Conference (GHGT-17) in Calgary, Canada, from 20th to 24th October 2024.
The GHGT-17 is the premier international conference on greenhouse gas reduction technologies, with a specific focus on carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS). This event will bring together researchers, industry leaders, government officials, and business partners fromaround the world to explore cutting-edge technology, innovations, and greenhouse gas mitigation strategies.
This will be possible thanks to the participation of our partner RWE Power (RWE) which is also part of Germany’s largest power producer. The company contributes with its power production capacity of about 13 GW based on lignite, nuclear and hydro power to the broad energy mix of the RWE group with renewable energies and natural gas. RWE is also Germany’s largest consumer of sewage sludge, a renewable source of CO2 and invests in the development of environmentally friendly technologies.
In the framework of ECO2Fuel, RWE works on demonstrating the process for producing and using climate-friendly synthetic fuels from CO2, aiming to integrate the transport and energy sectors. This involves testing the 1MW ECO2Fuel large-scale demonstrator for over 2000 hours in an industrial setting to reach TRL 7-8. They will also deliver fuel samples for further analysis and demonstrate the use of these fuels in transport and power generation.
