To have a good understanding of the real sustainability impact of the ECO2FUEL technology we use an integrated assessment including economic, environmental, and social aspects.
A raving success: Trilateral Online Workshop on Carbon Capture and Electrochemical Utilization of CO2 counts 424 participants from all over the world. Without a strong contribution from all economic sectors the net-zero climate protection targets cannot be achieved. Fossil feedstock for the chemical industry and fossil fuels for long-distance transport must be substituted. Therefore, the reduction of CO₂ emissions by carbon capture and utilization (CCU) and an intersectoral carbon cycle economy will be crucial for the transformation of the supply systems in the future.
Carbon Capture and electrochemical Utilization of CO2 – From research to industrial application. Without a substantial contribution from all economic sectors the net-zero climate protection targets cannot be achieved. Fossil feedstock for the chemical industry and fossil fuels for long-distance transport must be substituted. Therefore, the reduction of CO2 emissions by carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) and an intersectoral carbon cycle economy will be crucial in the transformation of the future supply systems.
The radical reduction of greenhouse gas emissions will require actions in all sectors that are inherently different and difficult, asking for an almost total re-thinking of our day-to-day energy management. As a forerunner in environmental protection worldwide, the European Union attempts to pull the plug on global warming with its many initiatives, especially the Green Deal.
The European Union aims to develop solutions that will assure the carbon neutrality and climate resilience of Europe and to contribute substantially to similar achievements in neighbouring and developing countries in the second half of the century. This very ambitious goal requires a highly integrated approach through the multiple angles of society, economy, technology, industrial value chains and environment, health, land use and governance.
The ECO2Fuel Project startet in October 2021 and has a duration of 5 years. What we archive, what we work on, how we work together and contribute to solving global energy challenges, we share with you on a regular basis.
The ECO2fuel project represents a unique opportunity to bring the CO₂ electrochemical reduction technology to an industrial relevant level, representing a powerful route to achieve an important milestone towards a greener future.
One of our 22 international partners of tomorrow’s workshop eCCU3 and consortium member of the ECO2Fuel project is ARIEMA Energía y Medioambiente S.L. with more than 30 years of experience in hydrogen-based technologies.
Electrochemical synthesis technologies are very promising to produce sustainable fuels and chemicals directly from water, green electricity, and recycled CO₂ as they avoid the effort of high synthesis temperatures and pressures. In this free workshop we will share some insights of how far we’ve come in turning CO₂ into valuable chemicals.
Transport accounts for around a fifth of global CO₂ emissions, and transport demand is expected to grow worldwide in the coming decades. The ECO2Fuel project aims to face this challenge by scaling a single-step CO₂ conversion process to produce liquid e-fuels without the need for hydrogen.
„ECO2Fuel is not only about recycling carbon from CO2 but the smart development, scale-up, implementation, and recycling of the critical components and the optimised use of the produced fuels and chemicals.
The industrial implementation of direct low-temperature electrochemical CO2 reduction without the need for hydrogen has been reported as a promising technology to recycle carbon dioxide into sustainable, carbon-neutral fuels and chemicals which are the solution to minimizing the carbon footprint of hard-to-decarbonize industrial applications.
