In the United Arab Emirates, Masdar said it has signed an agreement with TotalEnergies to assess the viability of developing a commercial green hydrogen to methanol to SAF project.
The focus of the project is to help decarbonize hard to abate, emission intensive sectors such as the aviation and maritime industries. The project will also capture and utilize CO2 from an industrial source to be used as a feedstock, in addition to green hydrogen from renewable energy powered electrolysis, for the production of green methanol and SAF, said Masdar.
The agreement follows a successful test flight conducted by the two companies during COP28 in December 2023 that demonstrated the potential for converting methanol to SAF, the company said.
