Kopernikus Project P2X integrated container-scale test facility produces first fuels from air-captured CO2 and green power

Green Car Congress

After that, a pre-industrial demonstration plant in the megawatt range, i.e. with a production capacity of 1500 to 2000 liters per day, will be designed. 60% of the green power used can be stored in the fuel as chemical energy. That plant may theoretically reach efficiencies of about 60%—i.e., P2X Kopernikus Project.

For the purposes of this AOI, a carbon fiber composite is defined as a composite that combines carbon fiber with polymer resin. The fibers can be continuous or discontinuous and the resin can be either a thermoplastic or thermoset polymer. Efficiency at 2bar BMEP, 2000 rpm. Efficiency at 2000 rpm and 20% of peak load.
