A Project funded by the EU Related to Power-to-X technology, in particular, Power-to-Fuels
Usually Stylized as eForFuel
It uses Electrochemical production of Formic Acid / Formate using Water and CO2
This can be used as is in a Direct Formic Acid Fuel Cell or in non-fuel uses (ie Power-to-Chemicals )
This project however demonstrated a further step, metabolic conversion to Propane and Isobutene (Which was intended for production of the Iso-octane
- Isooctane is currently used as an Anti-Knock Agent / Octane Rating Booster due to Crude Oil Refinery processes not lending themselves to production of pure chemicals, outside of the Fischer-Troph Reaction or use of crude substitutes such as Pyrolysis Oil or Bio-Crude P2X is often the opposite.
Thus this study is not only an interesting example of P2X tech, but also a somewhat novel Alternative Fuel Economy

Overview

It seems to be divided up into "Work Packages" ie all the different steps were developed independently
Will be abbreviated as "WP" onwards from here

WP-1

WP1 Efficient electrochemical CO2 reduction to formic acid
Quote:
- " In terms of energy conservation, simplicity and stability, activating CO2 is more efficient using chemical methods (rather than biochemical methods). We will develop an electrolyser, in which CO2 is reduced to formic acid and water is oxidised to oxygen. Our first priority will be to reduce CO2 under acidic conditions, so that the final product, the formic acid, remains stable, or as we say "undissociated"."
