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.
