e-fuels (e-gasoline)

Synthetic liquid fuel creation

State-owned alcohol and fuel production; biogenic CO2 supply

National executive authority responsible for energy, environmental, and investment decisions

Process combining hydrogen with biogenic CO2 captured from the ALUR ethanol plant to produce methanol as an intermediate product.

Capture of carbon dioxide from the ALUR ethanol production plant, providing a renewable CO2 source for hydrogen synthesis.

Downstream conversion process that transforms methanol into liquid fuels commonly referred to as e-gasoline or e-fuels, suitable for storage, shipping and use in existing combustion engines.
