Solving the green syngas gap.

The development of our innovative technology for a sustainable future is financially supported by the European Union. As part of the funded project, we aim to make an important contribution to the defossilization of industry.

In detail: refuel.green is developing a microwave-plasma reactor that converts CO₂ into green carbon monoxide (CO), an important chemical feedstock, while simultaneously treating industrial wastewater wherever possible. This innovative process enables the climate-neutral use of CO₂ as a resource, reduces greenhouse-gas emissions and breaks down contaminants in the supplied wastewater at the same time. The technology combines a simple modular design with low operating pressures and requires no catalysts, which both reduces costs and enables operation in a range of industrial applications.

The project’s objectives go beyond technical innovation: refuel.green aims to create an economically viable alternative to fossil-based processes and thereby transform the chemical industry, aviation and other hard-to-electrify sectors sustainably. The work focuses in particular on increasing the chemical conversion of CO₂ and improving electrical energy efficiency, as these are the key indicators for realizing an economically competitive product.

Implementing the project will enable refuel.green to advance its technologies to a higher technical level and prepare for market entry. With the planned market launch of modular reactors by 2029, refuel.green will play a key role in the transformation toward a CO₂-neutral industry.

This groundbreaking technology exemplifies Saxony’s innovative strength and demonstrates how companies can contribute through research and development both to achieving climate targets and to strengthening the region’s economy.
