The Sterope project has recently gained visibility in mainstream Spanish media through coverage in the newspaper La Razón and an interview on RTVE’s. Both features showcased the project’s innovative approach to converting industrial CO₂ emissions into renewable fuels for aviation and maritime transport.
Our partner, Silvia Morales de la Rosa, researcher at the Instituto de Catálisis y Petroleoquímica (ICP-CSIC), participated in RTVE’s science and technology programme A golpe de bit. During the interview, she explained how Sterope is developing an integrated CCU value chain capable of converting industrial CO₂ emissions into renewable fuels through advanced carbon capture, catalytic conversion technologies and the use of renewable hydrogen.
The interview presented the project’s approach to producing sustainable fuels for aviation and maritime transport, two sectors that are particularly difficult to decarbonise and require scalable alternatives to fossil fuels.
Sterope has also recently been featured in two articles published by the Spanish newspaper La Razón.
The first article, Científicos convertirán emisiones de CO₂ en combustibles sostenibles para barcos y aviones, introduces the project and explains how the consortium is developing technologies to transform industrial carbon emissions into renewable fuels while contributing to Europe’s climate neutrality objectives.
A second article, España convertirá el humo de las fábricas en ‘gasolina’ para aviones, focuses on the technological developments being carried out by the project partners and the demonstration activities that will validate the complete CCU value chain at refinery scale. The article highlights the role of the pilot plants developed within the project, including the transportable e-methanol production unit designed by ICP-CSIC, which will be integrated with the CO₂ capture and fuel upgrading technologies demonstrated by other consortium partners.
These media appearances contribute to raising awareness of the role that CCU technologies can play in reducing industrial emissions and accelerating the transition towards sustainable fuels for hard-to-abate sectors.
