Alt text (English): Infographic showing green hydrogen production at the Kubel hydropower plant in St. Gallen, Switzerland. A 2 MW electrolyser produces up to 36 kg of hydrogen per hour, supplying existing hydrogen refuelling stations and potentially the local gas grid. Green arrows illustrate the two distribution pathways. The OST study examines technical feasibility, gas quality regulations, economic viability and scalability of hydrogen blending.

Infographic comparing conventional Power-to-Liquid production with direct CO₂ electrolysis for synthetic aviation fuel (e-SAF). The conventional process uses separate hydrogen production and CO₂ synthesis, while the experimental TU Berlin approach converts CO₂ and water directly into ethylene (C₂H₄), which is subsequently upgraded into jet fuel. An e-SAF aircraft illustrates the potential application. The headline questions whether the separate hydrogen production step can be eliminated.

Cinematic infographic showing an Iveco truck transporting dimethyl ether (DME) through the Swiss Alps, alongside a detailed cutaway of the FPT Cursor 11 engine and the molecular structure of DME (CH₃–O–CH₃). Research by Empa and FPT Motorenforschung demonstrates that DME can achieve diesel-level efficiency with virtually zero soot emissions and only minor engine modifications. The illustration highlights renewable DME production from green hydrogen and recycled CO₂, reduced exhaust after-treatment requirements, efficient part-load operation and the potential to meet future Euro 7 emission standards.

Cinematic illustration of INERATEC’s ERA ONE Power-to-Liquid plant in Frankfurt-Höchst, showing how renewable hydrogen and recycled CO₂ are converted into synthetic crude through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and subsequently upgraded into sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF). A Lufthansa aircraft symbolises the aviation application. An inset illustrates Zeopore’s advanced zeolite catalysts, which improve hydrocracking efficiency, increase kerosene yields and reduce hydrogen consumption by double-digit percentages. The infographic highlights how on-site upgrading, improved catalysts and lower hydrogen demand can reduce the production costs of synthetic aviation fuel.

Rolls-Royce mtu emergency power generator connected to a tank of INERATEC MATERA e-Diesel outside a modern data centre, with illuminated server racks and a Swiss cityscape at dusk. An infographic highlights laboratory test results, including compliance with selected EN 15940 requirements, fuel stability, compatibility with engine specifications and a calorific value comparable to fossil diesel. The image illustrates the potential of synthetic diesel made from renewable hydrogen and recycled CO₂ to defossilise backup power systems without replacing existing generators.

Power-to-X feature image showing an e-methanol production plant, a hydrogen fuel truck, an e-SAF aircraft and an e-fuel tanker, illustrating the need for reliable demand to finance synthetic fuel production. An infographic highlights the global pipeline of around 300 e-fuel projects, with 76% still in concept or feasibility, 14% in FEED, 6% at final investment decision or construction, and less than 0.1% in operation, while road transport, aviation, shipping and chemicals represent key demand markets.
