Switzerland-based Climeworks, a spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH), recently launched the world’s first commercial plant that captures atmospheric CO 2 for supply and sale to a customer. Switzerland moving to accept CO 2 -neutral synthetic fuels to reduce fleet emissions.

Methanization works by producing methane (CH 4 ) and water (H 2 O) by catalytic conversion from carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and hydrogen (H 2 ). By means of a clever heat management, we want to cover the heat requirements of the CO2 collector as much as possible with this waste heat —Christian Bach.

Those teams producing fuels or potential intermediates include: Aljadix (Switzerland). Low-Energy-Consumption CO 2 Capture and Conversion (United States). About half of the 27 teams are producing fuels of one sort or another, with several more producing liquid chemicals that could serve as intermediates to fuel production. Coal plant.

Now, a team from the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland has demonstrated the direct production of hydrocarbon fuel—specifically methane—from water and CO 2 by incorporating a catalytic process into STCs. syngas—from water and CO 2. This could potentially make the solar fuel production chain much more economical.

Together with the partners Ineratec GmbH ( earlier post ) and Energiedienst Holding AG , the company has plans for a new pilot facility for the production of e-diesel in Laufenburg, in Canton Aargau (Switzerland). Audi e-diesel has the potential to make conventional combustion engines operate almost CO2-neutrally.

Analyses to determine the synthesized fuel’s ecological footprint, its potential contribution to greenhouse gas reduction in Switzerland, and the economic viability of the manufacturing process are also important parts of the project. PSI is mainly building on its experience with the test platform ESI: Energy System Integration.
