| description | Provision of sustainable transportation fuels is required for the energetic transition. A new process is presented for the production of synthetic sulfur free maritime fuel. This fuel is produced by Co-catalyzed Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) using syngas based on a plasma technology that contains traces of O<sub>2</sub>. Gravimetric experiments and steady state measurements with a Co/Pt/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> catalyst at low temperature FTS conditions (10–30 bar, 180–230 °C) show that, with H<sub>2</sub> present in the system, the catalyst remains active for FTS, and shows no influence on the distribution of C<sub>2+</sub>-hydrocarbons. O<sub>2</sub> is only converted to H<sub>2</sub>O and CO<sub>2</sub> in varying proportions (H<sub>2</sub>O: 70–80%, CO<sub>2</sub>: 20–30%), whereby a higher CO concentration increases the CO<sub>2</sub> selectivity. This work may wield a new CO<sub>2</sub> source for carbon-neutral fuels. |
