The young researchers used the well-known method of producing liquid fuels in a Fisher-Tropsch reactor. They decided to integrate it thermodynamically with high-temperature co-electrolysis (Molten Carbonate Electrolysis) using water and carbon dioxide. This is how Hyflow was developed – a system concept to produce green fuels. An additional advantage of the solution is that the entire process runs in a closed circuit.

A team consisting of Aliaksandr Martsinchyk, Katsiaryna Martsinchyk, Pavel Shuhayeu, Monika Lazor and Arkadiusz Baran is working on Hyflow. The idea is being developed at the Department of Power and Aerospace Engineering – at the Institute of Thermal Technology and with the participation of the Centre for Hydrogen Technology.

By 2024, the team wants to build the first proof-of-concept prototype. The project will then be developed with the support of the National Centre for Research and Development, the National Science Centre and other R&D grant organisations.
