In Switzerland, Metafuels AG has signed an agreement with European Energy to set up a synthetic sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) facility near Padborg in southern Denmark. The new facility is set to be constructed adjacent to a future Power-to-X facility from European Energy. The facility will be able to produce approximately 12,000 liters of eSAF daily. “European Energy is a key partner for us as we look to take the idea of eSAF from concept to reality – this can drastically cut emissions in the aviation sector, which is one of the hardest to decarbonize. This is a major milestone in our development process and a real-world step towards affordable eSAF replacing kerosene, and its impact on the planet,” said CEO of Metafuels, Saurabh Kapoor. The partners said that this facility is a component of a broader effort to meet the aviation industry’s climate targets through the European Union’s RefuelEU Aviation initiative and the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA).
