Abstract

HYFLOW is a system promoting the expansion of low-carbon energy sources, perfectly in line with the objectives of the latest EU climate improvement regulations. The concept of the project is Power-to-Fuel (PTF) conversion, which will thus enable the production of low- or even zero-emission synthetic fuels so-called e-fuels with high energy density, a wide range of applications and closed-loop CO2 emissions. The technology is based on a revolutionary approach involving the integration of a high-temperature co-electrolysis system together with a Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) reactor for the synthesis of liquid fuels, with a view to utilizing the energy and CO2 from the combustion of e-fuels in a closed loop. The HYFLOW project is being developed by researchers from the Warsaw University of Technology, consisting of: Arkadiusz Baran, Katsiaryna Martsinchyk, Monika Lazor, Pavel Shuhayeu headed by team leader Aliaksandr Martsinchyk at the Faculty of Power and Aerospace Engineering.
