MUMBAI, India, Sept. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411013810 A) filed by Singh, Gurjot, Patiala, Punjab, on Feb. 26, 2024, for 'systems and methods for electro-fuel synthesis.'
Inventor(s) include Singh, Gurjot.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 12, under issue no. 37/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure provides a system and method for electro-fuel synthesis by coupling renewable energy and Carnot battery with Solid-Oxide Electrolyser Cell (SOEC) and Direct Air Capture (DAC) arrangement. The system provides an end-to-end solution for electrofuels synthesis with round-the-clock available renewable energy using Carnot battery that provides both heat and power to run an SOEC. The heat from the Carnot battery is also used by the DAC arrangement to capture carbon dioxide from air. SOEC and DAC together facilitate in producing syngas using one of the two possible ways, i.e., regular electrolysis followed by reaction of H2 with CO2, or co-electrolysis. Further, the syngas is used for electro-fuel synthesis, for example, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, or methanol synthesis followed by Methanol-To-Gasoline (MTG) synthesis. Electro-fuels may also be produced by direct reaction of carbon dioxide from DAC and green hydrogen from SOEC. The heat from either of the pathways is recycled back to the system."
