Known as Power-to-Liquid (PtL) synthetic e-fuel, this type of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is emerging as an exciting option to fuel future aircraft. Today, the large-scale deployment of renewable energy is accelerating, as the world looks to increasingly decarbonise its energy mix.

The purpose is to provide the scientific basis on Power-to-Liquid (PtL), an alternative fuel production pathway. The pathway doesn´t depend on biomass, thus has no demand for arable land and low demand for water. PtL is a drop-in replacement for conventional jet fuel.

2023年9月15日 · PtL production has been proposed in this context as a promising and scalable alternative SAF production pathway. This process combines CO 2, water, and renewable energy to produce SAF with properties that are similar to those of fossil jet fuel.

2022年6月4日 · Power-to-Liquid (PtL) plants can viably implement carbon capture and utilization technologies in Europe. In addition, local CO2 sources can be valorized to substitute oil and gas imports. This work’s aim was to determine the PtL efficiency obtained by combining a solid oxide electrolyzer (SOEC) and Fischer–Tropsch synthesis.

2022年8月25日 · McKinsey and the World Economic Forum have developed a joint report that focuses on power-to-liquid (PtL) fuel, which is produced from captured CO 2 and renewable electricity from wind, solar, nuclear, hydropower, and other green sources.

2024年2月5日 · To accelerate cost-effective large-scale synthetic fuel deployment, we optimize a novel 1 MW power-to-liquid (PtL) plant in terms of PtL-efficiency and fuel production costs. For numerous plants, the available waste heat and temperature level depend on the operating point.

2024年12月6日 · Basic characteristics of kerosene synthesis via power-to-liquid pathways are reviewed with focus on the application of synthetic kerosenes in civil aviation. Furthermore, alternative use cases for green hydrogen in aviation are discussed.

2024年2月26日 · Explore the challenges and key considerations for successful PtL projects, from securing green hydrogen to navigating carbon availability and market dynamics. With SAF regulatory frameworks reshaping the industry, PtL jet fuels have the potential to become a cornerstone of decarbonisation.

Starting in 2024, the plant will produce up to 2,500 tons of sustainable e-fuels annually, making an important contribution to achieving climate-protection targets. The PtL plant will use CO2 and green hydrogen as feedstocks to produce liquid hydrocarbons, also known as e-fuels.

Ineratec GmbH plans to build a pioneering power-to-liquid (PtL) plant for generating e-fuels at Industriepark Höchst. It will produce up to 2,500 tons or 4.6 million liters of INERATEC e-fuels annually from up to 8,000 tons of biogenic CO 2 and renewable electricity.
