Industriepark Höchst as an innovation hub for CO2-neutral fuels
Two pilot plants for the production of sustainable fuels are being built at Industriepark Höchst – one of them by CAPHENIA.
In edition 1/2022 of the Industrie-Journal of the Frankfurt Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the editors see potential above all for aviation. The annual paraffin demand of Frankfurt Airport alone was several million tonnes before the pandemic. In order to secure the location, the Hessian state government founded the Centre of Competence for Climate and Noise Protection in Aviation.
The centre’s goal is to achieve CO2 neutrality in air traffic through innovative concepts. The focus here is on the development of synthetic paraffin through power-to-liquid (PtL) processes. This is an area in which CAPHENIA stands out with its technology: unlike other PtL processes, it uses not only electricity but also biomethane as an energy source, which significantly reduces the need for electricity from renewable energy sources.
Dr. Christian Librera Appointed New Chief Operating Officer (COO) of CAPHENIA
As Chief Operating Officer (COO) of CAPHENIA, Dr. Christian Librera is responsible for the operational implementation and industrial scaling of the CAPHENIA technology. His focus is on transferring the innovative Plasma-Boudouard Reactor Technology (PBR) from the pilot plant to industrial scale and building an efficient production infrastructure for renewable fuels.
CAPHENIA begins final construction phase of the demo plant “GERMANY I” at the industrial site in Frankfurt-Höchst.
The Bavarian clean-tech company CAPHENIA has successfully reached a significant milestone: The custom-built reactor with its unique Plasma-Boudouard technology (PBR) has been transported to the production site at the Frankfurt-Höchst industrial park, where it is now being integrated into the existing facility.
