E-TANDEM
E-TANDEM will develope the first direct process for the selective production of carbon-neutral higher oxygenate e-fuels from CO2, water, and renewable sources.
Uniresearch Role
Uniresearch supports the project coordinator, the General Assembly and Work Package Leaders Board with managerial, organisational and secretarial duties, administration and archiving work.
Project
Carbon neutral, high-energy density e-fuels are crucial to de-fossilize long-haul, heavy-duty road, marine and aviation transport sectors. Current e-fuels face hurdles for a swift market penetration due to incompatibility with current ICE fleets and fuel distribution network, and/or non-compliance with fuel norms in force. E-TANDEM aims to demonstrate a new, direct, hybrid-catalysis route for the production of a higher oxygenated diesel-like e-fuel (HOEF) based on higher alcohols and ethers from CO2, water and renewable power only.
