EcoFuel Project

The EU-funded EcoFuel project will create and demonstrate an innovative process chain able to improve the energy conversion for production of synthetic fuel from CO₂ and water using renewable energy. This next-generation renewable fuel for energy and transport will increase energy efficiency and reduce production costs associated with energy conversion of from CO₂

CO2 Neutral Fuels

EcoFuel will draw upon highly experienced research institutes, universities and well-established companies who will jointly develop and exploit an electrochemistry-based process chain to produce CO₂ neutral fuels.

New Process

Develop, demonstrate and, in the long run, bring into production a new process for the generation of drop-in fuel

Higher Efficiency

Achieve a higher efficiency along the process chain compared to the classical process route via H₂, thus saving primary energy, resources and cost.

Cost Reduction

The EcoFuel project next-generation renewable fuel for energy and transport will increase energy efficiency and reduce costs associated with energy conversion from CO₂.

Green CO2 fuel

Set-up a novel complete process chain, based on the power of electrochemistry to deliver truly green (CO₂ neutral) fuels with an unprecedented overall energy efficiency.
