Carbon dioxide hydrogenation to gasoline

Carbon dioxide hydrogenation to gasoline is the catalytic reaction of CO₂ with hydrogen to produce gasoline-range hydrocarbons, yielding a carbon-neutral fuel for existing engines without modification.

Carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol

Methanol synthesis from CO2 is the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide with hydrogen to produce methanol and water, converting captured CO2 and renewable energy into a liquid fuel.

Carbon2Chem

Carbon2Chem is a German cross-industry research project, launched in 2016 and led by thyssenkrupp and Fraunhofer, that turns steel mill exhaust gases into methanol and ammonia.

CO2 hydrogenation to ethanol

CO2 hydrogenation to ethanol is a catalytic reaction converting carbon dioxide and hydrogen directly into ethanol, either thermocatalytically or electrocatalytically, as a carbon-recycling fuel route.

CO2 hydrogenation to jet fuel

CO2 hydrogenation to jet fuel is a set of catalytic processes converting carbon dioxide and renewable hydrogen into C8–C16 hydrocarbons for sustainable aviation fuel, demonstrated at kiloton scale in China.

CO2 hydrogenation to light olefins

CO2 hydrogenation to light olefins is a catalytic process that converts carbon dioxide and hydrogen into ethylene, propylene, and butene, using CO2 as a renewable carbon feedstock.

HIF Global

HIF Global (Highly Innovative Fuels) is a multinational e-fuels developer, structured as a US holding company originated in Chile, operating the first e-fuels plant, Haru Oni, in Punta Arenas.

Liquid sunlight

Liquid sunlight (液态阳光), or liquid solar fuel, is a technology named in 2018 that stores renewable electricity as liquid methanol from green hydrogen and captured CO2.

Power-to-gas

Power-to-gas (PtG) is an energy conversion technology that uses electrolysis to turn electricity into hydrogen or synthetic methane, linking the power grid with the gas grid for seasonal storage of renewables.

Solid-electrolyte CO2 electrolysis

Solid-electrolyte CO2 electrolysis covers two approaches using a solid ion conductor: high-temperature solid oxide cells making CO or syngas, and low-temperature reactors making pure formic acid.

Zero-gap CO2 electrolyzer

A zero-gap CO2 electrolyzer, also called a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) cell, is an electrochemical reactor that converts CO2 into fuels, with cathode and anode pressed directly against the membrane.
