Our sustainable
future fuel

The manufacture of synthetic fuels such as gasoline and kerosene is undertaken using the in-house CAC "Methanol-to-Fuel" (MTF) and "Methanol-to-Jet fuel" (MTJ) technologies, in a power-to-liquid process chain from the initial components water, CO₂ and  renewable electricity – the latter, for example, from wind and hydropower, solar energy or biomass. The CO₂ can be extracted from the air or (industrial) point sources.. The electricity is used in the electrolysis of water to generate hydrogen and oxygen. In the subsequent process stage CO₂ and H₂ are synthesised into methanol. The methanol created in this manner not only constitutes a key platform chemical for diverse follow-on applications, it is also the basic material for CAC’s fuel synthesis technologies and gives its name to this type of power-to-liquid process chain; the so-called methanol route.

CAC’s fuel syntheses enable the production of gasoline and kerosene via a single-stage or three-stage technology path. The main products meet standard specifications and the process plant economy  is further enhanced through valuable by-products such as diesel (only with MTJ), LPG and fuel gas.
