CEMEX, Sasol and ENERTRAG partner to turn CO2 from cement plant into Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Green Car Congress

APRIL 19, 2022

The CO 2 will come from CEMEX’s Rüdersdorf cement plant in Germany, which will provide 100 tons of CO 2 per day in the project’s first phase. ENERTRAG is a renewable-energy company based in Brandenburg, Germany. The consortium will source green hydrogen generated exclusively from wind and solar energy from ENERTRAG.

But while the idea to produce a climate-friendly car is admirable, the vehicle Germany used for the project was quite questionable. Simply put, Germany took a perfectly working battery-electric vehicle, modified it with a synthetic methanol engine, and dubbed it as a work of true innovation. CO2 will continue to be produced.

CO 2 emissions from the ammonia industry alone amount to approximately 200 million tons per year—by comparison, Germany generates around 800 million tons of carbon dioxide per year. But these past attempts were limited by issues such as carbon clogging and low conversion rates. The final design is a 1.2-meter-high

Several after-market companies have done PHEV conversions of the Ford Escape hybrid and one has done a retrofit of the F-150 pickup -- see Where PHEVs Are and ICE-Conversions.) That said, the interest in conversions continues to validate hybrid technology as a core technology thats here to stay. This is unusual.
