SynFuels - On the way to large-scale production in SwitzerlandSynFuels - On the way to large-scale production in

Project

Electrification is an important path towards the decarbonisation of transport. However, batteries cannot currently be used for air transport without further ado, unlike in passenger cars. One alternative is the use of renewable synthetic fuels, so-called SynFuels, which are produced from CO2. UMTEC is researching suitable CO2 sources and new… ...

CHEMCARB: Direct conversion of CO2 into C

Project

In order to balance the global climate, affordable technologies for converting CO2 into stable and storable solids that enable reliable carbon storage (CCS - carbon capture storage) are of interest. In this project, an unconventional CCS technology is being researched that allows direct conversion of CO2 to carbon even at temperatures close to… ...

REVEAL - Revolutionary energy storage circuit with carbon-free aluminumREVEAL - Revolutionary energy storage circuit with

Project

Winter needs green electricity! Transferring the summer surplus of renewable energy to the winter months through seasonal storage is imperative for net-zero emissions. Scientists from SPF and UMTEC at OST are working together as part of the REVEAL project to develop a seasonal energy storage technology based on carbon-free aluminium. ...

REVEAL – Revolutionary Energy Storage Cycle with Carbon-Free AluminiumREVEAL – Revolutionary Energy Storage Cycle with Carbon-Free

Project

SPF has the technical lead in the EU Horizon Europe project reveal. Within this project, a seasonal energy storage cycle is developed that is based on the oxidation and reduction of aluminum as an energy carrier. The main responsibilities of SPF, besides the technical lead, is the development of technologies for Alu-to-Energy conversion: the… ...
