Energy determines operational capability. Fossil supply chains are complex, prone to disruption and a strategic risk. e-Fuels enable an independent, resilient supply through decentralized production, based on existing infrastructure and designed for a secure, future-proof energy supply.
Giga Ptx for maximum resilience
Independence from fossil supply chains and resilience in the event of peace and defense through scalable,
protected and redundant fuel production.
What is Giga PtX?
Giga PtX is a concept developed in cooperation with Rheinmetall for a Europe-wide network of several hundred decentralised plants producing synthetic fuels from renewable electricity, water and CO₂. PtX stands for Power-to-X: the conversion of renewable energy into fuels, gases or chemical products. INERATEC contributes the core technology to the network through its modular Power-to-Liquid technology. Standardised plant modules enable production capacity to be expanded gradually and close to where it is needed.

Decentralized production
Building a network of production sites - to strengthen a resilient energy infrastructure across Europe
Local production
Utilizes locally generated energy and raw materials (CO₂ and H₂) without requiring a significant expansion of the power grid
Resilient, networked production
The systems can be connected directly to the NATO grid and operate in stand-alone mode in the event of a power failure.
Scalable capacity
Each plant is designed for the availability of local raw materials, with the Giga PtX network with its total output providing the fuel that is crucial for supplying Europe.
Strategic advantage
Converts fuel into a stand-alone capability that enables security of supply and independent operations.
INERATEC’s role
INERATEC supplies modular synthesis technology for the decentralised production of liquid e-Fuels. In the plants, renewable hydrogen and CO₂ are converted into synthetic hydrocarbons. The modular design enables standardised implementation at different locations and scaling in line with demand. With ERA ONE, INERATEC operates a reference plant for industrial-scale production. The INERATEC LIFELINE product line applies the modular approach to applications where a resilient, local fuel supply is the priority.
