Clariant, a sustainability-focused specialty chemical company, announced that its ShiftMax 100 RE catalyst is powering INERATEC's advanced e-Fuels production plant, “ERA ONE” in the industrial park Frankfurt Hoechst, Germany.

The facility, officially opening on June 3, will recycle approximately 8,000 tons of CO₂ annually and transform it into up to 2,500 tons of synthetic fuels and waxes. This production capacity represents one of the largest Power-to-Liquids operations globally, positioning both companies at the forefront of sustainable fuel technology innovation.

Georg Anfang, Vice President at Clariant, said, "Our collaboration with INERATEC demonstrates how Clariant's catalyst technologies are helping to make sustainable fuels a commercial reality. As global demand for sustainable aviation fuels continues to grow, driven by both regulatory requirements and corporate sustainability commitments, our catalyst technologies are helping to bridge the gap between conventional and renewable energy systems."

Tim Boeltken, co-founder and CEO of INERATEC, commented, "Together with Clariant we have formed a strong innovation partnership to ensure highest quality and robustness of our new facility. Their ShiftMax 100 RE catalyst provides excellent activity and stability which is essential for our innovative technology. This enables us to produce drop-in ready e-fuels that meet the demanding standards of the fuel industry. “
