Boeing has joined forces with Norsk e-Fuel to support the development of one of Europe's first large-scale Power-to-Liquids (PtL) facilities. This partnership aims to boost the production and availability of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the Nordic region and worldwide. The initiative aligns with the commercial aviation industry's goal, alongside ICAO member states, to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Norsk e-Fuel plans to produce electro-SAF or e-SAF through a process that uses fossil-free power to generate green hydrogen, which is then combined with recycled CO₂ from biogenic sources. This method can potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions from air travel by over 90% compared to traditional jet fuel.
Steve Gillard, Boeing's regional sustainability director for Europe, Middle East, Türkiye, Africa, and Central Asia stated: "Our support of and collaboration with Norsk e-Fuel underscores the importance of using fossil-free energy to accelerate SAF production, which is key to reducing aviation’s carbon emissions towards 2050." He added that this partnership would help increase SAF accessibility globally.
