Ineratec unveils plans for second e-fuels project in France
In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that Haltermann Carless and INERATEC have signed a Letter of Intent for strategic cooperation within the “ERA T.H2” project, with the goal of advancing the industrial deployment and commercialization of sustainable e-fuels and renewable hydrocarbons in Europe.
The chemical company intends to purchase a significant amount of bio-e-SAF and bio-e-Naphtha annually for a minimum period of ten years following the plant’s commissioning, according to the report.
The “ERA T.H2” project is among the world’s first commercial Power-and-Biomass-to-Liquids (PBtL) facilities. Located in Normandy, France, the plant will use sustainably sourced residual wood biomass from the region together with renewable energy to produce synthetic fuels and hydrocarbons. Commissioning is scheduled for 2029. Starting in 2031, the facility is expected to process approximately 60,000 tons of residual wood biomass annually, sourced from regional forests and industrial operations.
Through gasification, these residues will be converted into syngas, which will then be transformed using INERATEC’s technology into at least 13,000 tons of Fischer-Tropsch products per year, including e-SAF for aviation and basic chemical feedstocks such as e-Naphtha, the report added.
