Is the efficient production of sustainable aviation fuel really impossible, as critics repeatedly claim?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course not: the research team at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT<\/a> ) had already been able to produce fuels such as kerosene from CO2, water and green electricity in a climate-friendly way using the power-to-liquid process – but now researchers in the Kopernikus project P2X have gone one better and coupled the highly efficient co-electrolysis process with fuel synthesis for the first time on an industrially relevant scale of 220 kilowatts of power<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“The special thing about co-electrolysis is that it electrochemically and highly efficiently converts water vapor and CO2 directly into synthesis gas in a single step. Up to 85 percent of the electrical energy used for this is recovered as chemical energy in the synthesis gas. In addition, the coupling demonstrated that our co-electrolysis system has very high system availability and reliability and was therefore able to deliver synthesis gas of the desired quality at all times,” says Hubertus Richter, Senior Engineer R&D Project Management & Process Engineering at Sunfire. “This eliminates the usual separate hydrogen production with downstream synthesis gas production, which significantly increases the efficiency of the overall process towards synthetic fuels.” <\/p>\n
