The EU aims to develop the next-generation renewable fuels for energy and transport that will increase energy efficiency and reduce costs associated with energy conversion from CO2. Towards this, the EU-funded EcoFuel project will create and demonstrate an innovative process chain able to improve the energy efficiency for production of synthetic fuel from CO2 and water using renewable energy. The project will draw upon various experts who will join their technologies to develop and exploit an electrochemistry-based process chain to produce CO2 neutral fuels. The overall ecological and techno-economic performance of the EcoFuel process chain will be validated by in-depth impact assessments.
