Greenlyte Starts Duisburg Pilot Making Synthetic Gas From Air, Water and Green Power

Backed by public funds and university input, the company now targets e‑methanol in 2027 plus SAF at Düsseldorf in 2028.

Overview

  • Greenlyte says the Duisburg pilot combines direct air carbon capture with renewable hydrogen to synthesize synthetic natural gas.
  • The company reports annual output of about 5 tonnes of SNG and removal of roughly 40 tonnes of CO2 from the air.
  • The Liquid Solar platform is presented as capable of producing e‑methanol and sustainable aviation fuel in addition to SNG.
  • Specialists from Universität Duisburg‑Essen and RWTH Aachen contributed to the build, which received state and EU funding and drew praise from NRW Minister‑President Hendrik Wüst.
  • Scale‑up plans include a 30‑times larger e‑methanol plant in Marl by 2027 and a SAF unit at Düsseldorf Airport from 2028 with a three‑year offtake from Eurowings, set against parallel European PtX projects such as Ineratec and Ren‑Gas.
