Brief description
Joint project:
This project should contribute to a gradual increase in the coupling rate of carbon dioxide (CO2). Regardless of its origin, whether from existing or future industrial or other value chains. For this purpose, CO2 is directly reduced to carbon monoxide (CO) in a high-temperature electrolysis (HTCoEl). This reduction can be carried out individually or by adding water vapour (H2O). Thus synthesis gas can be produced. This mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is the basis for the production of various chemicals and fuels. The HTCoEl project will now bring the other components, such as heaters and heat exchangers, to the same level of development. This will allow the entire system to be ready for the market in the near future.
Subproject WKET:
Since these systems are to be designed for low maintenance, bushings are required for power connections, temperature and voltage sensors. In case of failure, they must have high pressure and high temperature stability. The aim of the sub-project is to provide approaches to solutions. These must guarantee safe operation even under extreme conditions.
