    Greenalia and P2X-Europe request their project Breogan

    Greenalia and P2X-Europe request their project Breogan, a game-changing PtL project producing CO2-neutral eFuels and green hydrogen in Galicia, to be classified a Priority Business Initiative

     

    • P2X-Europe and Greenalia enhance the shape of project BREOGAN through additional robust agreement for the construction of an innovative Power-to-Liquid (PtL) plant in Galicia, Spain, aimed at producing synthetic hydrocarbons for sustainable aviation, transportation, and chemical-pharmaceutical industries.
    • P2X-Europe has introduced the project to the regional government Xunta de Galicia at the production site in Curtis-Teixeiro, to demonstrate the alignment with the government’s sustainability goals.
    • This CO2-neutral project seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 95% and replace conventional fossil crudes with green hydrogen and net-zero carbon synthetic products, including eSAF, eDiesel, and specialty chemicals.
    • Project BREOGAN represents a major step towards energy autonomy and sustainability in Galicia, Spain, and Europe, positioning the region as a leader in the production and commercialization of synthetic fuels.

     

    23/10/2023, Hamburg, Germany. Today, P2X-Europe (P2X) and Greenalia (GRN) have formally committed to enter the next planning phase in their partnership, which is set to redefine the future of sustainable energy in a groundbreaking collaboration for the construction of an innovative industrial Power-to-Liquid (PtL) plant in Galicia. This cutting-edge facility will produce synthetic hydrocarbons at large scale, ushering in a new era of carbon-neutral production and climate action. The refined products, such as eSAF, eDiesel, and specialty chemicals like eWaxes, are poised to revolutionize the aviation, transport, and chemical industries. P2X, a global leader in PtL technology and a joint venture of H&R and Mabanaft, had joined forces in May 2023 with Greenalia, a Spanish independent power producer, to create an unprecedented PtL project.

    The Next Gate - Pioneering demonstration in Hamburg

    New Power-to-Liquid plant at H&R's Hamburg site produces alternatives to fossil raw materials

    •    Power-to-Liquid demonstration plant goes into operation
    •    Inauguration of the "futurefuels.experience" information center
    •    Market development of climate-friendly eFuels and chemical-pharmaceutical specialties begins

    Sustainability, resource conservation and the efficient use of raw materials are among the most important topics of today. On Wednesday, September 14, 2022, H&R inaugurated the new Power-to-Liquid (PtL) demonstration plant at the production site of Ölwerke Schindler GmbH. The process facilities will be used to produce synthesis-based alternatives to fossil raw materials. The demonstration project is one of the world's first PtL concepts on a technical scale, supplying so-called eFuels as well as synthetic raw waxes, which will be marketed via the P2X-Europe joint venture of the two partner companies Mabanaft and H&R.

    Salzbergen, September 15, 2022.     The Power-to-Liquid synthesis technology, developed by Karlsruhe-based technology company INERATEC, will in future produce around 200 tons of eFuels for road as well as rail transport and around 150 tons of waxes for use in the cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and food industries.
