SynopsisAxens, Paul Wurth (SMS group), and IFPEN have joined forces to co-develop the Reverse Water Gas Shift technology (RWGS) for integration into e-fuel projects. RWGS is a vital component in the conversion of CO2 into renewable and low-carbon fuels. The collaboration leverages each party's expertise to accelerate RWGS technology industrialization and optimize its cost and output, contributing to the production of synthetic fuels to meet the global demand for Sustainable Aviation Fuels.ArticleIn a landmark collaboration, Axens, the SMS group subsidiary Paul Wurth, and IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) have inked a co-development agreement aimed at advancing the Reverse Water Gas Shift technology (RWGS) and its integration into e-fuel projects. RWGS plays a pivotal role in the suite of technologies designed to convert CO2 into renewable and low-carbon fuels, as well as chemical intermediates.Each partner brings its unique expertise to the table, fostering a synergy that promises to accelerate the development of improved RWGS technology for industrial use. Axens, renowned as the licensor of the efficient Gasel® technology, specializes in the conversion of syngas into liquid hydrocarbons, including Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). Their contribution extends to scaling up technologies, integrating them into commercial operations, and optimizing technology suites.Paul Wurth, along with its parent company SMS group, is a leading global technology partner, equipment developer, and plant builder with a strong focus on projects aimed at converting CO2 and H2 into e-fuels. Leveraging their extensive experience in high-temperature equipment, material selection, and more, they are poised to contribute their expertise to the development of RWGS technology for e-fuel applications.IFPEN, a major player in research and innovation in the energy, transport, and environmental sectors, brings its profound expertise in catalytic process development and high-temperature processes for syngas production. Their previous work led to the creation of a proprietary RWGS technology, which will now be fine-tuned to optimize reaction conditions and performance, as well as design RWGS reactor technology.The collaboration aims to fast-track the industrialization and maturity of enhanced RWGS technology, with a sharp focus on cost optimization and increased output. This endeavor holds the key to bringing a commercial e-fuel solution to the market, effectively meeting the surging global demand for Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF).ConclusionThis collaboration marks a significant step toward advancing e-fuel technology and contributing to sustainability in the energy sector.
