H2FLEX: Climate-Friendly Fuels from CO2 and Green Hydrogen – AHP Delivers the TEA/LCA

Within the framework of the collaborative R&D project “H2FLEX,” funded by the Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) and led by the Technical University of Munich, Werner Siemens Chair of Synthetic Biotechnology, a complex bio-catalytic process is being developed to produce climate-friendly fuels—particularly SAF for substituting kerosene in aviation—from CO₂ from external combustion processes (e.g., fossil fuel power plants) and fermentation, as well as oxygen (from water electrolysis using “green” hydrogen). This involves combining different fermentation processes, enzymatic and thermocatalytic conversion processes in an appropriate manner.

In addition to other institutes of the Technical University of Munich, Clariant Produkte (Deutschland) GmbH is also participating in the research project.

In this context, AHP is developing an integrated techno-economic overall model for the industrial scale-up of the production process (TEA) and for determining the carbon footprint of the products (LCA) on behalf of the Technical University of Munich.
