Topsoe to build demonstration plant to produce cost-competitive CO2-neutral methanol from biogas and green electricity

Green Car Congress

The demonstration plant will be located at Aarhus University’s research facility in Foulum, Denmark, and receives funding from EUDP (Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program). The technology heats the process using green electricity from wind turbines or solar panels instead of natural gas. Resources.

Risø DTU Investigating Production of Synthetic Transportation Fuel from Renewable Electricity and CO2

Green Car Congress

Risø DTU, the National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy at the Technical University of Denmark - DTU, is heading an effort to transform CO 2 and renewable electricity into synthetic fuels for transportation. This type can therefore only be used to produce synthesis gas. Source: Risø. Click to enlarge.

Study reviews pathways for recycling CO2 into fuels using renewable or nuclear energy; concludes co-electrolysis with FT production of fuels could be cost-competitive with diesel or gasoline

Green Car Congress

Estimate of synthetic fuel cost versus electricity price using (a) constant operation, (b) the same assumptions but with highly intermittent operation (a 20% capacity factor); and operating the electrolyzer at a higher current density with (c) constant operation and (d) highly intermittent operation.
