Air Fuel Synthesis technology proven by September?

July 5, 2011 |

In the UK, Air Fuel Synthesis revealed that it is constructing two reactors that convert atmospheric CO2 and hydrogen extracted from water, and converting it into methanol. AFS scientists, according to the company are supervising a team of chemical engineering experts from the Centre for Processing Innovation (CPI) in Teesside to prove their technology within a manufacturing process, and expect to have their technology so running by September.

“We are building two reactors that can be used in different ways,”  said Peter Harrison, of Air Fuel Synthesis, “so that we have potential to produce methanol. The methanol can then be converted for petrol or can be converted into a hydrocarbon liquid which we hope will be similar to aviation fuel.”
