Coryton to drive sustainable e-fuel
(Oilandgaspress) Coryton has joined a consortium of European companies and research bodies, to deliver pioneering research on sustainable fuel.
The four-year project, Demonstrating a Circular Carbon Economy in Transport Along the Value Chain (DeCarTrans) is funded with a total of 14,93 million euros by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport as part of the Funding Programme Renewable Fuels. The funding guideline for the development of renewable fuels is coordinated by NOW GmbH and supported by the project management agencies VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH and Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe e. V. (Agency for Renewable Resources).
Bespoke fuel specialist Coryton is one of three blenders chosen to deliver fuel for the project. Other partners come from the mineral oil industry, the process engineering industry and research and development. Together, they aim to demonstrate how renewable fuels can be produced on an industrial scale. Core objectives include improving process efficiency, increasing product quality and evaluating the possible sales and market launch scenarios as well as the associated legal framework.
Creating over 4,000 bespoke fuel blends each year using a range of technologies, including its second-generation biofuel brand SUSTAIN, Coryton will bring a wealth of expertise and experience to the project. Alongside its presence in Germany, the company’s headquarters in Southend also offers a state-of-the-art laboratory and blending facility which is already being utilised.
Recently, ~5,000 litres of Methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) were delivered to Coryton UK’s plant to be processed on behalf of the project consortium. Made using renewable methanol, from sources such as industry or agriculture, the final fuel products will be used in a range of ways including industry demonstration projects, motorsports and research work in universities.
