How do we produce synthetic fuels?
We use renewable hydrogen and CO2 to produce synthetic fuels. The hydrogen is obtained from the water molecule by using electrolysis with renewable energy, and the CO2 is captured at the Petronor refinery.
The main innovation of the project is to manage to create syngas (CO+H2) from H2 and CO2, generating water as a by-product. Next, we use the latest advances in existing technologies to create gasolines or kerosenes from syngas.
Synthetic fuels are, from the chemical point of view, identical to those currently used in combustion engines, and can therefore use the existing infrastructure and logistics network. These fuels have different final applications, such as aviation fuel, renewable diesel, and naphthas.
