Synthetic fuels: An alternative for decarbonizing mobility
What are zero footprint fuels?
We are producing carbon-neutral fuels using only water and CO2 as raw materials. These fuels can be used in existing vehicles such as automobiles, trucks, and planes, among others. This is possible thanks to our CO2 capturing technology and the renewable energy that enables us to obtain hydrogen from water molecules.
How are synthetic fuels produced?
The system for producing synthetic biofuels is considered to be a crucial component to circular economy strategies as it contributes to the efficient use of resources and waste.
To produce e-fuels, electricity from renewable sources is used, which separates the oxygen and hydrogen particles of water by means of electrolysis , giving rise to renewable hydrogen. Meanwhile, CO₂ is captured from the air or from an industrial facility. Lastly, at the synthetic fuel production plant, the renewable hydrogen and the CO₂ are used to produce net zero emissions synthetic fuels.
What are the advantages of synthetic fuels?
Synthetic fuels offer a series of benefits that go beyond reducing the carbon footprint:
