ADVANCED-PTL
© AVL List GmbH
Industrial companies are faced with the challenge of decarbonising energy- and emissions-intensive processes in an economically viable and reliable way. While individual key technologies such as electrolysis, CO₂ capture and synthesis processes have already been developed, there is often still a lack of integrated, scalable overall systems that function under real operating conditions.
In particular, there are as yet no sufficiently validated industrial solutions for applications that continue to require liquid energy carriers – for example in the chemical industry, refineries, and air and maritime transport.
Project Progress
In the ADVANCED-PTL project, key PtL technologies are not being developed in isolation, but as an integrated overall system that is designed, modelled, built and operated.
The project implementation includes the design and optimisation of the overall architecture, the integration of DAC, co-SOEC and Fischer–Tropsch units, and the operation of a demonstration plant with a focus on both steady-state and dynamic operating modes.
A particular focus lies on:
- the system integration of several key technologies,
- scalability towards industrial applications,
- and economic and operational feasibility.
“With this project, we are creating a robust foundation for transferring innovative technologies from development into industrial application, thereby making a measurable contribution to industrial decarbonisation.”
