INERATEC receives around 6 million euros of funding from German Environment Ministry for e-fuel plant

Industrial power-to-liquid plant in Frankfurt to receive funding from
environmental innovation program


Karlsruhe, Germany, 1st December 2022 – The Karlsruhe-based Cleantech company
INERATEC is building the world’s first large-scale industrial production plant for synthetic
fuel in Germany. This will make INERATEC the market leader for the production of e-fuels.
Their use will make both shipping and aviation climate neutral.


Funding from the Environmental Innovation Program (UIP) of the German Federal
Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety for three years is
a special recognition of the climate protection potential of power-to-liquid technology
and supports the mission of the fast-growing company: To supply the mobility sectors
and of the chemical industry with CO2-neutral fuels and base chemicals, which have so
far been produced from fossil crude oil.


The production plant, which will come on stream in 2023, recycles up to 8,000 tons of
CO2 from a biogas plant annually – about as much as ~750,000 trees store each year.
Using green hydrogen, up to 2,500 tons of e-fuels and chemicals are produced from it
each year. These will then be used in the form of e-kerosene and e-diesel in the form of
e-kerosene and e-diesel, thus contributing to the CO2 neutrality of these sectors.


The expansion of production capacities is INERATEC’s response to the growing needs and
demands from the industry and will thus ensures the availability of synthetic fuels for the
first time. Global capacities are being expanded together with partners.
INERATEC is thus making an important contribution to achieving global climate targets –
sustainability “made in Germany”.

About

INERATEC is a pioneer in the field of Power-to-Liquid applications. The company supplies
sustainable fuels as well as chemical products. Modular chemical plants for power-to-X and
gas-to-liquid applications use hydrogen from renewable electricity and greenhouse gases such
as CO2 to produce e-kerosene, CO2-neutral gasoline, clean diesel or synthetic waxes, methanol
or SNG. Founded in 2016, INERATEC has already implemented industrial-scale power-to-liquid
plants at German sites to boost the availability of sustainable fuels and chemicals in various
transport sectors such as aviation. Further information can be found via www.ineratec.com
