Namibia, which aims to build a substantial green fuels industry and produce 10-12 million tonnes per year of hydrogen equivalent by 2050, is currently reviewing available carbon sourcing options. The goal: Ensure that fuel production is in line with the <a href=\"https:\/\/gh2namibia.com\/gh2_file_uploads\/2022\/11\/Namibia-GH2-Strategy-Rev2.pdf\">Green Hydrogen and Derivatives Strategy<\/a> and supports global defossilisation efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study sheds light on the three different sourcing methods for carbon: <strong>Direct Air Capture (DAC), Biogenic Carbon and Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU)<\/strong>. Further, it helps to understand <strong>the implications of carbon carrier choices<\/strong> and evaluate the different methods <strong>in the Namibian context<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Focusing on Namibia, this study comprehensively assesses the potential of utilising the country&#8217;s residue biomass, particularly from bush encroachment, for the production of high-value PtX products, with a specific emphasis on synthetic fuels. Moreover, the study presents a novel approach to developing an <strong>innovative biomass PtX (BtX) process<\/strong> that maximises the carbon carrier aspect of biomass. The study provides <strong>recommendations for the implementation<\/strong> of the BtX process to produce synthetic drop-in fuels in Namibia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study was conducted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gfa-group.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>GFA Consulting Group GmbH<\/strong><\/a> in collaboration with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.giz.de\/en\/worldwide\/111178.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>GIZ project \u2018Bush Control and Biomass Utilisation (BCBU)\u2019<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;under the umbrella of the International PtX Hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carbon sourcing for Power-to-X (PtX) products such as synthetic fuels remains a critical factor in terms of end-product sustainability.
