ALCHEMHY and STEROPE have initiated a dialogue to explore potential synergies in their respective efforts to decarbonise the chemical and energy sectors. While each project focuses on different technological pathways, they share a common ambition: enabling more sustainable production routes for fuels and chemicals through the integration of hydrogen, electrification, and carbon management technologies.

ALCHEMHY is developing innovative electrified processes for ammonia and methanol production using green hydrogen, with a focus on technologies such as plasma-catalytic systems, electrochemical synthesis, and advanced reactor concepts. STEROPE , in parallel, is working on advanced carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) systems to convert industrial CO₂ emissions into renewable e-fuels such as e-methanol and sustainable aviation fuels.

The areas of alignment between the two projects lie particularly in CO₂ conversion pathways, methanol-related value chains, and the broader role of hydrogen integration in industrial decarbonisation. Both initiatives also place strong emphasis on scalability, system integration, and real-world demonstration of technologies in relevant industrial environments.

From a communication and dissemination perspective, this emerging synergy opens opportunities for joint visibility activities, exchange of dissemination materials, and mutual participation in relevant events and stakeholder platforms. In the future, both projects may further explore coordinated outreach efforts to highlight complementary results, share lessons learned, and strengthen the visibility of EU-funded innovation in the field of sustainable fuels and chemicals.

While still at an early stage, this collaboration reflects a shared commitment to building connections across projects working toward Europe’s climate neutrality objectives, supporting knowledge exchange and amplifying impact beyond individual project boundaries.
