In France, Haffner Energy, a biomass-to-clean fuels solutions provider, and IðunnH2, a green hydrogen developer, have signed an agreement aimed at integrating Haffner Energy’s technology in the 65,000 tons/year e-SAF facility under development by IðunnH2. The project is located near Keflavík International Airport in Iceland. It is slated to combine green hydrogen from Iceland’s renewable power grid with competitive biogenic carbon from Haffner Energy’s patented biocarbon gasification technology to produce SAF. “Accessing biogenic CO2 from a reliable partner like Haffner Energy is essential to the development of e-SAF and other e-fuels needed to complete Iceland’s energy transition. The agreement with Haffner Energy will help us direct Iceland’s renewable power onto Iceland’s aircraft fleet, to not only to decrease emissions, but also to reduce Iceland’s import dependence, improve air quality around Keflavík Airport and bolster energy security,” IðunnH2 co-founder and CEO Auður Nanna Baldvinsdóttir said. IðunnH2’s 300MW e-SAF facility in Helguvík, Iceland, will produce 65,000 tons of carbon-neutral SAF, thanks to green hydrogen from wind, geothermal and hydropower. SAF will be blended onsite with traditional jet fuel and used on existing fleets and infrastructure. Production is scheduled to start in 2028, the French firm said.
