The complex is designed to turn 210,000 tonnes of forestry residues and 17,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen into around 180,000 tonnes of bio-e-methanol a year for shipping, with eSAF planned in a second phase. ## [From PET waste to CO₂ sorbent: how BAETA turns two crises into one solution](https://power-to-x.swiss/2026/08/20/from-pet-waste-to-co2-sorbent-how-baeta-turns-two-crises-into-one-solution/) _2026-08-20 · petermetzinger · Swiss Power-to-X Collaborative Innovation Network_ Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have converted low-grade PET plastic waste into BAETA – a solid material that captures CO₂ from flue gas and directly from air. The work, published in Science Advances, is funded by the VILLUM Power-to-X Accelerator and could lower the cost of captured carbon for e-fuels and CO₂-based chemicals. ## [From DAWN to bankable: German funding backs Synhelion’s next synthetic fuel plant](https://power-to-x.swiss/2026/08/19/synhelion-german-funding-commercial-synthetic-fuel-plant-juelich/) _2026-08-19 · petermetzinger · Swiss Power-to-X Collaborative Innovation Network_ Synhelion has been selected for the Produktives.NRW programme: EU-backed funding supports its commercial demonstration plant for renewable synthetic fuels in Jülich — the step that turns DAWN's proof of technology into bankable production. ## [Power-to-Food: protein from CO₂ and renewable hydrogen reaches commercial reality](https://power-to-x.swiss/2026/08/18/power-to-food-protein-from-co2-and-renewable-hydrogen-reaches-commercial-reality/) _2026-08-18 · petermetzinger · Swiss Power-to-X Collaborative Innovation Network_ Power-to-Food converts green hydrogen and captured CO₂ into protein via gas fermentation. Two years after the technology was profiled for Swiss readers, the picture is informative: Solar Foods reached commercial production in Finland and is launching in the US in early 2026, Econutri pivoted to pet food, and Arkeon filed for insolvency. The category is real, the economics are not yet settled. ## [Power-to-X Briefing: hydrogen setbacks in Switzerland, a hydrogen passenger ship — and fresh momentum abroad](https://power-to-x.swiss/2026/08/17/power-to-x-briefing-hydrogen-setbacks-in-switzerland-a-hydrogen-passenger-ship-and-fresh-momentum-abroad/) _2026-08-17 · petermetzinger · Swiss Power-to-X Collaborative Innovation Network_ Swiss hydrogen setbacks meet a first hydrogen passenger ship on Lake Lucerne — plus green hydrogen, ammonia and eSAF news from Australia, Morocco, France and the UK. ## [Sunlight turns waste into hydrogen — Cambridge’s reactor moves toward scale](https://power-to-x.swiss/2026/08/17/cambridge-scalable-solar-reactor-waste-hydrogen/) _2026-08-17 · petermetzinger · Swiss Power-to-X Collaborative Innovation Network_ Cambridge's solar reactor makes hydrogen from plastic and biomass waste — now built simply and tested at square-metre scale outdoors. Promising science, still far from cheap hydrogen. ## [Summer break: our last post until 17 August](https://power-to-x.swiss/2026/07/17/summer-break-until-17-august/) _2026-07-17 · petermetzinger · Swiss Power-to-X Collaborative Innovation Network_ The SPIN editorial team is taking a summer break: this is our last post until 17 August. Meanwhile, save the date for the Power-to-X Congress Switzerland 2026 on 22 September in Bern. ## [Power-to-X global news: data centres eye Chile’s hydrogen land, methanol travels 200 km by pipeline, and Kuqa finally runs flat out](https://power-to-x.swiss/2026/07/17/power-to-x-global-news-chile-land-methanol-pipeline-kuqa/) _2026-07-17 · petermetzinger · Swiss Power-to-X Collaborative Innovation Network_ Chile may reallocate land reserved for green hydrogen to data centres, China moves methanol 200 km through a pipeline, Japan puts hydrogen hybrid trains into passenger service — and Sinopec's Kuqa project reaches full electrolyser load at last. This week's global Power-to-X news. ## [From recycled CO₂ to ethylene: Empa advances circular carbon electrolysis in the EU project REACT](https://power-to-x.swiss/2026/07/17/empa-recycled-co2-ethylene-react/) _2026-07-17 · petermetzinger · Swiss Power-to-X Collaborative Innovation Network_ Empa is developing an electrolysis process that turns recycled CO₂ into ethylene — a defossilised base chemical — in the EU-funded project REACT. ## [Power-to-X global news: a 2.4 GW e-fuels plant in Uzbekistan, a delayed EU review and a ten-year offtake deal](https://power-to-x.swiss/2026/07/16/power-to-x-global-news-uzbekistan-e-fuels-eu-rfnbo-delay/) _2026-07-16 · petermetzinger · Swiss Power-to-X Collaborative Innovation Network_ Zaffra wins the technology contract for a 2.4 GW e-fuels plant in Uzbekistan, Brussels pushes its RFNBO review to the autumn, Lhyfe signs a ten-year offtake deal with Messer — and the UK declines to ring-fence money for e-SAF.
