Enabling lowest cost & most scalable SAF production
Our patented energy-saving e-fuel synthesis process enables load-flexibility, delivers exceptional CO2 conversion at lower operating temperatures, and requires no CO2 recycling stream.
In order to produce synthetic e-fuel, green hydrogen and sustainable carbon dioxide are converted into liquid energy carriers: hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons offer the highest energy density for a multitude of applications, among them sustainable aviation fuel.
The problem: conventional processes struggle with the volatile availability of hydrogen, and require large storage capacities or grid-connection. Spark‘s streamlined load-flexible process overcomes these limitations, and can operate at lowest costs.
production
In the first step, carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen (H2) are converted to syngas (a CO and H2 mixture).
Tropsch reaction
In the second step, carbon chains of different lengths are formed, that can be refined into a multitude of products, e.g. sustainable aviation fuel.
