| Project Detail |
Dimensional Energy will apply additive manufacturing (AM) of large-scale ceramics to 3D print a reactor that will efficiently convert greater than 70% of CO2 and green H2 into synthetic gas (syngas), which may be used to produce synthetic aviation fuel. The high carbon utilization and energy efficiencies of the reactor will be coupled with inexpensive renewable electricity and green electrolysis-produced H2 to enable syngas production. Further processing will yield sustainable aviation fuel and other sustainable fuels and chemicals. The ultra-high temperature reactor will include structural features and architectures to achieve higher energy efficiency, compactness, temperature uniformity, and ease of system integration.
Potential Impact:
Dimensional Energy’s innovative reactors will convert CO2 into a feedstock chemical that can be processed into jet fuel, thereby providing a low-carbon and sustainable aviation fuel to an air flight sector that accounts for nearly 3% of global annual emissions. |
