Building biogas reactors to make cleaner synthetic fuels
Using renewable power sources for the industrial production of chemicals from renewable carbon sources could reduce CO2 emissions significantly. The EU-funded eQATOR project plans to show how biogas could play such a role, by developing scalable catalytic reactor technology for the conversion of biogas to syngas. The reactor will be electrically powered and more efficient than existing tech, enabling conversion into higher-value products such as methanol, hydrogen, and synthetic fuels. The efficiency gains will be demonstrated by electrically heating the catalyst, either by resistive or microwave heating. Implementation of the eQATOR technology is estimated to decrease life-cycle CO2 emissions for syngas production by 60-80 % and save from 7 Mt CO2/year in 2030 to 45 Mt CO2/year in 2045.

The goal of the project is the development of a suitable catalytic substance for the synthesis of energy gas on PCM. The project concept is based on the use of available materials and renewable energy sources for the production of alternative carbon waxes, the purpose of which will be to increase thermal comfort in buildings.

Programme SIGMA, Project number: TQ03000511

The aim of the project is to develop the structure and technology of production of a new generation of high-performance catalyst for the process of transformation of methanol into modern and sustainable fuels. Specifically, the project aims to develop nanostructured hierarchical zeolitic catalyst for the transformation of methanol to a C4-C10 hydrocarbon fraction with a high content of branched alkanes and cycloalkanes with a high octane number. The catalysts will be characterized by high activity stability, regenerability and structural stability, and will allow economic transformation of methanol to C4-C10 with high atomic selectivity.

This project is supported by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic as part of the TREND Program.

Circular Fuels is a Horizon 2020 project dedicated to generating renewable fuels from biomass, such as wood and agricultural residues.
This involves feeding biomass into a solar pyrolysis unit to produce pyrolysis oil, which will then be stabilized and enhanced. These fuels are intended for future use as a sustainable fuel source, specifically targeting the aviation industry.

FUEL-UP is a Horizon 2020 project dedicated to producing advanced biofuels for the aviation and marine industries. The project focuses on converting biomass from wood waste, logging, and processing residues into pyrolysis oil, which will then be stabilized for use as a sustainable fuel source.

The subject of the project is to verify the technical feasibility and commercial potential of the idea of using optimized hydroisomerization catalysts based on zeolites for application in the refining industry.

Black Liquor to Fuel (BL2F) is a Horizon 2020 project that will use “Black Liquor“ to create a clean, high-quality biofuel. Black liquor is a side-stream of the chemical pulping industry that can be transformed into fuel, reducing waste and providing an alternative to fossil fuels.

The BioMates project aspires in combining innovative 2nd generation biomass conversion technologies for the cost-effective production of bio-based intermediates (BioMates) that can be further upgraded in existing oil refineries as renewable and reliable co-feedstocks. The resulting approach will allow minimisation of fossil energy requirements and therefore operating expense, minimization of capital expense as it will partially rely on underlying refinery conversion capacity, and increased bio‐content of final transportation fuels.

The project aims to create a unified visual identity of the company, which will be applied to all communication channels of the company. The goal of the project is to consolidate the form and character of the company’s brand in the subconscious of the customers and thus improve the company’s position on the market.

The project will develop a catalyst that will be used to decompose the H2O2 gas phase used for sterilisation in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
