Intensified processes for CO2 conversion to sustainable synthetic fuels
Developing intensified catalytic processes for CO2 conversion may drive their implementation at CO2-producing sites, counteracting current practices of emitting CO2 and waste gases. Converting CO2 to synthetic fuels is a win-win scenario as they are used as sustainable aviation fuel. A leading technology to convert CO2 to synthetic fuels proceeds indirectly via Reverse Water Gas Shift (RWGS) and Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS). CO2 is first reduced to CO via RWGS and then converted to hydrocarbons via FTS. Based on current chemical engineering practices, four unit operations (two reactors and two intermediate separations) are required. The ambition of the IntensifiedCO2 technology is to…
