(PRLeap.com) Best-in-class technology to meet global ambitions for sustainable fuels

Germany, Karlsruhe 25. January 2023 - German Clean Tech company INERATEC, leader in the production of e-fuels, closes a new round with Honda Motor Co., Ltd. alongside existing shareholders Engie New Ventures, MPC, Safran Corporate Ventures, FO Holding, Planet A Ventures and HTGF.

Through their new investment and together with Honda, existing shareholders reaffirm their support for the development of synthetic fuels, such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) or Diesel. The feedstocks CO2 and green hydrogen will be used to produce e-fuels and synthetic chemicals that can directly replace fossil fuels. Especially now, as the tailwinds for clean fuels are strong, the partnership will impactfully transform industries and mobility towards carbon-neutrality.
INERATEC, Honda and the other strategic investors will advance the testing and application of renewable e-fuels, by bringing their expertise to further develop the best-in-class production for synthetic fuels via INERATEC's Power-to-X technology. The new partnership with Honda will enable further optimization of the fuel production process. This collaboration will facilitate the global use of the e-fuels and thus the achievement of ambitious CO2 reduction targets becomes reality.

"Honda has high expectations for the future of INERATEC, a company which has advanced concepts and technologies for synthetic fuel production," said Shinji Aoyama, Director and Senior Managing Executive Officer of Honda. "Honda views synthetic fuels as one of a wide range of technologies that will contribute to achieving carbon neutrality in certain fields, such as aviation. Honda will continue to search for, collaborate with, invest in, and acquire promising venture companies through our global open innovation program, Honda Xcelerator*".
INERATEC is thus expanding its relations in the Japanese and US region. "We are proud of the strong commitment from the international innovation leader Honda and very happy that Honda believes in INERATEC's leadership in e-fuels as well the future potential of our technology. Together we will extend the technological and market leadership for the commercial production of e-fuels and e-chemicals on a global scale", adds Tim Boeltken, Managing Director at INERATEC.

* Honda Xcelerator is an open innovation program promoting collaboration between startups and Honda. Silicon Valley-based Honda Innovations, a subsidiary of Honda Motor Co., Ltd., has been the main driving force behind this global program.
