Fueling Future Mobility – e-Fuels made in Germany
A more sustainable future and climate-neutral mobility - with the largest Power-to-Liquid plant in Frankfurt, we are working to achieve this major and so important goal!
World's first
With our pioneering plant in Frankfurt am Main, we are building the largest power-to-liquid plant to date for the production of synthetic, climate-friendly e-fuels. Updates every week here and on our social media channels.
We will share updates and stories about the project here as well as on our social media channels and provide various background information. Join us on our journey to a sustainably powered future!
Milestones

Second Module installed - Construction Update
The next milestone has been reached in our state-of-the-art project: The second module of our e-Fuel pioneer plant in Frankfurt Höchst is now complete and installed!
19.06.24
The first step of market introduction is complete!
The first unit of our pioneer plant in Frankfurt has successfully passed the CE certification. This confirms that we meet the important health, safety, and environmental protection requirements of European legislation. The focus was particularly on compliance with the Pressure Equipment Directive. The CE certification thus confirms that our processes and products are safe. This marks the first important step in our market introduction! The next milestone has been reached in our state-of-the-art project: The second module of our e-Fuel pioneer plant in Frankfurt Höchst is now complete and installed!

Construction Update - Take 5
Supply secured – within the last weeks, the pipeline bridge connecting our e-Fuel plant to the industrial park has been successfully installed. It will supply our facility with hydrogen and CO2 once operation has started. The preparations are well underway and we’re one step closer to the commissioning.
25.01.24
The Final Steps Before Commissioning
With pride, we look at the latest accomplishments at our plant site in Frankfurt. To ensure safety and functionality, we are currently in the final preparation phase for commissioning, conducting extensive tests at our plant over the course of several weeks.
21.12.23
Pioneers on all levels
Our e-Fuel plant in Frankfurt is setting new global standards, not only in size and production capacity but also in pioneering the construction of the first e-Fuels storage facility right on site. Efficient tank storage is crucial for ensuring a smooth supply chain and continuous provision of drop-in sustainable fuels to maritime transport, aviation, and road transport.

(Sun)rise of a fossil-free era
In the light of the rising sun, INERATEC's e-Fuel plant in the industrial park Frankfurt Hoechst is taking shape. This striking image captures the first unit of the pioneer plant, which is currently undergoing functionality tests to get ready for operation in 2024.
With sustainable e-Fuel from biogenic CO2 and hydrogen, we will be Fueling Future Mobility in aviation, shipping and road transport - enabling the transition away from fossil fuels.
Join us as we turn this vision into the fuel that drives tomorrow's industry.

Completion of the first pioneer plant module!
The first module of our e-Fuel pioneer plant was picked up from the INERATEC headquarters in Karlsruhe after a successful FAT (Factory Acceptance Test). It was then transported to its destination in the Industrial Park Frankfurt Höchst, where it is now being installed and getting ready for operation.

Construction Update - take four
Floor by floor, the building for our e-Fuel pioneer plant is being erected. This is just a glimpse of the progress at site: we are in an exciting phase, shortly before the delivery of the first Power-to-Liquid plant modules to their destination in Frankfurt. Follow us to not miss the next big step!
12.10.23
Construction update - take three
The construction work on our pioneer e-Fuel plant in Frankfurt Höchst is still in full swing. We are excited to witness the progress as we shape the future of sustainable mobility. To ensure that our future projects progress just as smoothly, we are looking for you to join us as dedicated support in our team!

Load flexibility - the problem of a fluctuating energy supply
Our e-Fuel pioneer plant in Frankfurt is rapidly taking shape! In just a month, we'll be installing the first synthesis unit to address the challenge of efficiently utilizing renewable energies like wind and solar. This research module in the project “RePoSe” is a crucial part of our e-Fuel pioneer plant. It ensures efficient operation from 2024 onwards by testing volatility.
21.09.23
Construction update – second take
The site for our eFuel pioneer plant is taking shape! Every day we’re getting closer to the installation of the plant modules and by now it’s becoming more and more visible that we’re building something BIG here. Only a month from now, the first synthesis unit will be installed on site in Frankfurt. Take a look at the progress we made, the current status of the construction site and how our e-Fuel pioneer plant will look like after completion.

IMPOWER2X - the pathfinder for our pioneer plant
Two years ago, INERATEC received a funding of 2.5 million Euro from the EU. This was to support the scaling, replication and implementation of industrial scale pilot plants for the production of e-Fuels. Find out what has happened in the last two years within the framework of IMPOWER2X, which goals had to be achieved and what fundamental meaning they have for our pioneering project in Frankfurt.
