Renewable methanol-based synthetic multifuel production.

It is a scalable, flexible approach to producing four renewable fuels (green methanol, syngas, methane and DME) with built-in energy storage capacity. The TCES system decouples fuel production from the intermittency of renewable energy, while the multi-product design allows integration into refineries, chemical industries, transport and power generation , using existing infrastructure. The concept combines fuel synthesis, high-temperature heat and power in a single tri-generation system.

A multidisciplinary consortium of 10 partners across 3 countries (Spain, Greece, Germany), with expertise in chemistry (catalysis, fuel synthesis), energy technologies (turbomachinery, heat exchange, thermochemical storage, CO₂ capture) and process engineering. The consortium includes leading universities, major R&D centres, an R&I and techno-economic consultancy, a renewable energy developer and a major European refinery group, supported by an industry advisory board including Johnson Matthey.
