The green power generated on site in the hydroelectric power station produces hydrogen and oxygen from water by means of electrolysis. This hydrogen, together with carbon dioxide, is converted in a two-step power-to-liquid process. First, the CO 2 and H 2 are converted into syngas in Ineratec’s RWGS (reverse water gas shift) reactor.
