RE: Joint Collaboration with Vattenfall 'HYBRIT'9 Jul 2020 13:32
VATTENFALL 'Hybrit' "hydrogen electrolyzers is the Liquid Wind project, which is underway in Sweden. In this project, wind power will be used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen using electrolysis, then CO2 will be captured to react with the hydrogen to produce green methanol or eMethanol. The project consortium (consisting of Axpo, COWI, Carbon Clean Solutions, Haldor Topsoe, Nel Hydrogen and Siemens) will combine their expertise and technology to produce liquid, carbon-neutral fuel from captured carbon dioxide (CCU) and green hydrogen (from renewable electricity). The project is supported by a €1.7-million investment from EIT InnoEnergy and is a significant milestone in meeting growing demand for renewable fuels to enable more sustainable transportation. The consortium is currently designing the technology integration for the first facility, which is located in Sweden and expected to begin manufacturing eMethanol in 2023. Each facility will produce 45,000 metric tons (m.t.) of carbon-neutral fuel per year. "
