Tecnalia leads the SINTETIK project for research into new technologies for the production and conversion of renewable fuels.
The aim of the SINTETIK project is to research into new processes for the production of renewable synthetic fuels (syngas, methane and methanol) and the conversion of ammonia to hydrogen at a competitive cost.
Currently, these molecules are generated from fossil fuels in conventional thermochemical reactors operating at high temperatures. The Elkartek project investigates innovative concepts for electrified reactors powered by renewable energy sources, as well as the development of their key components, which would enable the production of these fuels to be decarbonised.
The project envisages the development of four laboratory-scale prototypes, based on electrochemical, electrified membrane, thermal plasma and photocatalytic reactor technologies. The consortium, coordinated by Tecnalia, also includes CIDETEC, EHU, POLYMAT, Petronor, Tekniker and the Basquenergy Cluster.
