The key technologies to master the change to a sustainable economy are no longer under development; they are on the table and ready for industrial rollout. The CTV group’s research focuses on bringing sustainable processes to practice, being engaged in projects on renewable fuels and CO2 capture to boost a more sustainable energy sector.

In the SynergyFuels project, nine plants for the synthesis of e-fuels and biofuels are integrated into a refinery concept in both material and energetic terms. The use of biogenic residues is combined with power-to-X processes. In this way, synergies are created: The combination increases both material and energy efficiency in the production of the fuels. The project aims to scale up processes for the production of renewable fuels to pre-production scale in the short term.
The Chair of Chemical Process Engineering (CTV) coordinates the SynergyFuels project. Besides, CTV takes part in 3 more workpackages within the project, working with the synthesis and purificatin of Formaldehyde and Ethers.

This module aims at making the students familiar with the industrial processes to produce renewable fuels. They are able to set up material and energy balances of these processes and assess their sustainability. Limitations with respect of raw material supply, energetic efficiencies and market requirements are understood. The students understand the interactions of fuel market and energy market.
Course contents include: requirements for fuels, linkage of energetic and chemical value chains, fossil fuel production as reference, balancing and assessments (Well-to-Wheel), Hydrogen and methanol economy, alternative fuels on C1-basis, fisher-tropsch fuels, OME, bio-based oil fuels, biodiesel, green diesel, HEFA, bio-based alcohols, legislation of fuels.
