THE OBJECTIVE: MITIGATING CLIMATE CHANGE

Even in scenarios with large increase of direct electrification liquid and gaseous energy carriers remain necessary to cover the global energy needs in 2050.

THE SOLUTION: ELECTRICITY BASEDLIQUIDS AND GASES(e-Fuels and e-Gases)

We want to achieve a zero emission society in transport, industry and energy sectors via electricity based liquids and gases, making renewable energy available wherever and whenever it is needed.
