SLIDE 7 „Power-to-X“ Green-Gas-to-Liquid – GG2L
SPK – A NEW FUEL
Hannover 25/04/2018 7
- Proven technology: based on the Fischer-Tropsch
synthesis (FT) – developed in Germany in 1923 – fuels can be produced from carbon sources: „Carbon-to-Liquid“ (CtL), but
- Innovation in technology and product
development has been made outside Europe during the last 20 years
- Technology leadership: Republic of South Africa‘s
SASOL and accompanying R&D landscape
- Worldwide use: production of fuels (diesel,
gasoline, kerosene), wax, fertilizer, chemical raw materials for the chemical industry
- Biogas, natural gas and bio-methane from the
German gas pool can be used for SPK
- New CCS+U technologies allow coal to be used as
raw material: possibility to make the best economic use of CO2 (inter alia enhanced oil recovery, production of methanol and other raw materials for the chemical industry)
- Lignite coal as native resource: span of more than
250 years and inexpensive and reliable
- Pricing: regardless of worldwide oil price
evolution
- Clean Fuel: fewer emissions of sulphur and
nitrogen oxides as well as CO2 when burnt
- Efficient Fuel: longer maintenance intervals and
turbine operation times SPK – Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene = drop-in fuel for the aviation industry
