Where do e-fuels come from?

Power-to-Liquid

Power-to-liquid (PtL) is a process in which electricity generated from renewable sources is used to produce hydrogen by means of electrolysis.

This hydrogen, together with carbon monoxide from various sources such as biogas plants or industry, is then converted into liquid fuels such as e-fuels in a PtL plant. The PtL process is an important building block for the realization of a Power-to-X strategy, in which electricity from renewable energies is converted into various forms of chemical energy carriers.

In the PtL process, we convert energy from renewable sources into liquid fuel or sustainable chemical raw materials. We use green hydrogen and CO2 from point sources or the atmosphere.
