Gaseous Hydrocarbon Synfuels from H2/CO2 based on Renewable Electricity - Kinetics, Selectivity and Fundamentals of Fixed-Bed Reactor Design for Flexible Operation

Conversion of electrical energy into chemical energy carriers has the potential to replace fossil fuels and can be attractive as long-term storage. The present work considers different aspects of the electricity-to-fuel process chain using a combination of experimental work and mathematical modelling. This work discusses in detail the production of gaseous hydrocarbons from H2 and CO2 via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and the potential to operate fixed-bed reactors under flexible conditions.
