TotalEnergies – Sunfire’s SOEC Technology for the e-CO2 Met Project
Status:
Operation
Sunfire-HyLink SOEC | 0.7 MW
0.7 MW solid oxide electrolyzer
Up to 15 kg/h hydrogen
Commissioned in 2022
Leuna, Germany
Hydrogen for Chemical Industry
Green methanol from renewable hydrogen & exhaust gas CO2
The e-CO2Met project is testing the interaction of three innovative processes – the use of CO2 from the refinery, the use of green hydrogen produced by high-temperature electrolysis, and subsequent methanol synthesis on the Hy2Chem scaling platform
»With the innovative production of synthetic methanol, crude oil and natural gas can be replaced in the chemical industry and the required raw materials can be produced in a climate-neutral way. In this way, we are making a contribution to the decarbonization of basic chemicals.«
