Europe approves €350m for synthetic aviation fuels project | Carbon Dioxide
The European Commission has approved under EU State aid rules a €350m German measure to support Concrete Chemicals in the production of synthetic aviation fuels. The project will use electricity, renewable hydrogen, and biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from a cement plant and integrate different technologies such as electrolysers and complex chemical reactors, reverse water-gas shift and Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis. Partners include renewable energy company Enertrag, global building materials manufacturer Cemex and Sasol ecoFT, a leader in the development and application of FT technology. Power-to-Liquid (PtL) kerosene produced by the project will qualify as renewable fuel of non-biological origin (RFNBO) as the energy content will come from renewable sources. In addition, as byproduct, the project will produce 6,500 tonnes of renewable naphtha (PtL-naphtha) per year that can be used as feedstock to produce various plastic… Read More »Europe approves €350m for synthetic aviation fuels project | Carbon Dioxide
