Virtual talk: public presentation of the project NaMoSyn

TUM.PtX News |

How can synthetic fuels contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions in the transport sector? Will they make it possible to fulfill ambitious reduction targets? This is what the project NaMoSyn is all about – the German acronym stands for „sustainable mobility with synthetic fuels“. The project will be presented in a virtual talk event on June 30. In a podium discussion, experts from different fields will share thier view on the energy transition process in the transport sector.

Since 1990, the GHG emissions in the traffic sector have remained nearly unchanged. Every year, transport in Germany is responsible for about 160 million t of CO2while only 6 % of the energy used in transport are renewable. It will be a difficult challenge to apply fast changes and establish climate-neutral, fair, and affordable mobility for everyone within the first half of the century. It requires to utilise all propulsion technologies available which have a perspective of CO2 saving and CO2neutrality. An often discussed option is drivetrain electrification, but synthetic fuels produced with renewable energy can also contribute to achieve this goal.

Funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the project NaMoSyn investigates synthetic oxygenate fuels which offer benefits in pollutant emissions based on their chemical structure. The project uses a Well-to-Wheel approach including the utilisation of renewable ressources for climate-neutral fuel production.
