Plasmafuel: Project meeting in Stuttgart

The synthetic fuel is produced from CO2 sources like exhausts from the cement industry, and uses renewable electric excess energy from wind and solar power plants in order to produce hydrogen and generate the final fuel product on base of a so-called Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. For splitting the input CO2 into CO for further processing, a plasma reactor with a high energy efficiency is used.

In this project, Overspeed is responsible for the optimising control system, hydrogen and fuel storage management, and the interaction with the energy market.

On the latest project meeting in Stuttgart, Germany, The Managing Directors of Overspeed, Thomas Pahlke and Dr. Hans-Peter (Igor) Waldl, together with its project partners from University Bayreuth, University Stuttgart and MCT Transformatoren GmbH discussed the modelling of the chemical and electrical properties of the system and the optimization of the whole process.
