The future of Synthesis Gas

This event provides an overview and perspective update on improved processes on the basis of synthesis gas which is to be seen as a sustainable alternative to crude oil and its derivatives. This can be used for the production of chemicals, clean fuels and chemical energy storage.

Growing demand – especially in developing countries -, increasing costs of exploration and production as well as environmental and geopolitical concerns are drivers to gradually shift the raw material basis away from today dominating crude oil.

To secure a more sustainable production of chemicals, transportation fuel and energy process on the basis of C1 building blocks such as methane, CO and CO2 are becoming more and more important.

In this context synthesis gas (CO/H2) generated both from fossil and renewable ressources is at the crossroads of many advanced chemical conversion routes. In many cases it also opens the option to recycle CO2 to be used as a carbon source. Examples are efficiency improvements in Hydroformylation, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and Methanol generation and conversion into various chemicals, clean fuels and chemical energy storage.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
