Tuesday 27 August 2024

Our cooperation partner CAPHENIA from the research project “reTURN - Recycling organic residues and CO2 into fuels” has received the final part of the newly designed reactor, which will produce renewable fuels in the future. With Prof. Dr. Stefanie Meilinger, the International Center for Sustainable Development (IZNE) at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences (H-BRS) is responsible for the the life cycle assessment of the construction and operation of the new reactor.

The aim of the reTURN project partners is to revolutionize the transport sector by integrating various industries. The objective is to develop a process for the production of environmentally friendly, synthetic fuels at economically viable costs.

The final plant component for fuel production (plasma Boudouard reactor) has now been delivered to our cooperation partner CAPHENIA at the industrial park near Frankfurt-Höchst and is scheduled to go into operation in mid-2025.

The innovative technology positions the project partners at the forefront of the renewable fuels sector and has the potential to transform sustainable industries and mobility sectors, bringing us a big step closer to climate neutrality in the mobility sector.
