Meyer Neptun Engineering plans to cooperate with the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT Rostock), to establish a platform for fuels from renewable energy.
The platform will be available for further research with other research institutions and companies, in order to collaborate on environmentally and climate-friendly mobility.
More specifically, along with the shipyards of the Meyer Group, Meyer Neptun Engineering will test the fuels generated in the research project under real conditions on board.
The aim is to make climate-neutral and sustainable solutions ready for the market for different types of ships.
Dr. Denise Heyl, project manager of LIKAT, is pleased about the planned cooperation, in which the latest scientific technologies for more sustainable mobility will be put into practice:
We are convinced that with the planned PtL platform, together with MEYER NEPTUN Engineering, we will contribute to emission-free shipping
stated Dr. Denise Heyl, project manager of LIKAT.
The process that the project will follow is Power-to-Liquid (PtL), which is based on the conversion of renewable energy into liquid fuels and chemicals such as methanol using CO2 that is already in the atmosphere.
