The Eco2Fuel consortium plans to showcase its progress in so-called CO2 electrolysis on April 30 at the Acee-Gisel-2026 conference in Cetraro, Italy. In this process, captured CO2 is electrochemically converted into synthetic fuels (E-Fuels) and chemical feedstocks using renewable electricity. Unlike water electrolysis, the focus here is not on hydrogen production but on carbon utilisation.
50 kW System as a Bridge to Megawatt Scale
At the centre of the presentation is a pressurised 50 kW CO2 electrolyser system. According to the consortium, it is intended to serve as an intermediate step between laboratory experiments and future megawatt-scale plants. The system was designed in a modular fashion and validated under realistic operating conditions. The results are expected to provide insights into efficiency, durability, and operational behaviour.
