The PRIME-Fuel project aims to develop a modular microreactor technology that converts CO2 into methanol using renewable energy sources.
A groundbreaking project aimed at transforming sustainable fuel production has been awarded $3.6 million by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy .
The goal of the project is to develop a modular microreactor technology that converts carbon dioxide into methanol using renewable energy sources.PRIME-Fuel is part of ARPA-E’s broader $41 million initiative, the Grid-free Renewable Energy Enabling New Ways to Economical Liquids and Long-term Storage program. This program aims to develop technologies that use renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, to produce sustainable liquid fuels.
Additionally, methanol is a valuable chemical feedstock used in many everyday products, including food packaging that extends shelf life. According to Bollini, methanol is a “platform chemical,” meaning it can be used to produce a wide range of chemicals and products. The PRIME-Fuel project will utilize advanced mathematical modeling and SRI’s proprietary Co-Extrusion printing technology to design and build ainto methanol using renewable energy. One of the standout features of the microreactor is its ability to continue producing methanol, even when renewable energy supply dips to as low as 5% capacity.
