EAG is proud to be part of the Consortium formed to develop Ef fi torch project, along with other eight industrial and academic organisations, to develop an innovative technology for Power-to-X, based on splitting CO₂ using a ultra-high temperature electrodeless thermal plasma to produce a syn-gas that will store the energy transferred in the process chemically. This approach will permit, for instance, storing the over production of green energy for further use.
The project is phased along four years where different prototypes will be designed, manufactured, tested and optimized aiming to fine tune the conversion of the CO₂ into CO and maximize the energy efficiency of the process using CO₂ as gasifying agent.
EAG will mainly contribute developing the design of the reactors that will be used to quantify the achievements of this approach. Many attempts have been already made in this direction but Ef fi torch will go various steps further implementing several solutions to optimize the overall process that will be probably put together by the first time.
Ef fi torch is covered under an EC HORIZON call and will demonstrate how the capacities of companies and organisations of six different European countries can be aligned and coordinated to pursue a common objective that could be, who knows, the starting point of a complete new approach to convert certain waste in a valuable and manageable fuel.
