NEDO: From CO2 to development of liquid synthetic fuel: Fischer-Tropsch reaction (FT)
-Construction of integrated liquid synthetic fuel manufacturing process-
NEDO:
Using CO2 as a raw material, we combine hydrogen and electric power derived from renewable energy with synthetic technology.
Highly efficient production of liquid synthetic fuel:
Gasoline and light oil for automobiles,
For internal combustion engines such as jet fuel
Highly efficient and integrated production of liquid synthetic fuels using next-generation technology.
“We will work on research and development that is unique in the world.”
R & D theme:
Two themes adopted this time.
Develop liquid synthetic fuel from CO2:
The Fischer-Tropsch reaction is
“Realization of chemical manufacturing using CO2 as a raw material” and
For “manufacturing hydrocarbons”
This is the technology with the highest affinity.
We will develop this next-generation technology in the future.
What is the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction?
A technology for synthesizing hydrocarbons from carbon monoxide and hydrogen using a catalytic reaction.
Business name: Technology development such as carbon recycling and next-generation thermal power generation
Development of practical technology for reducing CO2 emissions and effective utilization
Research and development of liquid fuel manufacturing technology from CO2
Project period: 2020-2024
Overall budget: about 4.5 billion yen
