Completing the value chain for #efuel In Freiberg, we have produced synthetic gasoline using a fully power-based process chain for the first time. The e-methanol used comes from the world’s first industrial-scale eMethanol production plant in Kassø, Denmark - a joint venture of European Energy and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. This marks the transition from demonstration to market-relevant production. The value chain is now complete: biogenic CO₂ ➕ green hydrogen 🟰 #eMethanol ➡️ #eFuel Operated at large scale. Under real conditions. What matters for the market: the fuel is drop-in compatible, meets existing fuel standards and can be used in today’s vehicle fleets and infrastructure without modification. With up to 90 percent CO₂ reduction compared to fossil gasoline. This level of industrial maturity is the foundation for the next step. For CAC ENGINEERING GMBH and TU Bergakademie Freiberg, this is a key milestone within the DeCarTrans joint project. More importantly, it demonstrates that the METHAFUEL process is fully designed for industrially available, power-based carbon carriers. This is precisely the prerequisite for German eFuel One, our planned first industrial-scale plant for synthetic gasoline in Germany. This is a tangible contribution to a technology-open mobility transition that includes the existing vehicle stock rather than replacing it. We are market ready.
