Fraunhofer ICT Leads 'Leuna100' Project to Convert CO2 into E-Methanol for Sustainable Aviation Fuels
The Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology ICT is spearheading the "Leuna100" project, aimed at producing climate-neutral e-methanol from CO2 and green hydrogen. This e-methanol is designed to be a precursor for sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) and other specialty chemicals. The initiative, based at the Leuna Chemical Park, focuses on developing a continuous production process to help decarbonize the chemical and aviation industries. By creating a circular carbon economy, the project seeks to reduce reliance on fossil raw materials. The ultimate goal is to establish a technology platform for the sustainable production of essential base chemicals and fuels.
