The "HyFly" project involves the construction of an installation for the large-scale production of synthetic fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBO) according to the Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) technology using RFNBO hydrogen and biogenic CO2. Thanks to the "HyFly" project, it will be possible to achieve a production capacity of approximately 70 kt/year of synthetic hydrocarbons, including high-quality synthetic, sustainable e-Jet RFNBO aviation fuel and valuable raw materials for petrochemicals. One of the main advantage of the "HyFly" project is its innovation using digital solutions. The first is real-time management of molecules, i.e. directing remaining products to appropriate refining and petrochemical installations in order to maximize the highest-margin products. The project will enable the implementation of CO2 emission reduction goals and the goals resulting from the ReFuelEU Aviation regulation implemented in Oct 2023 regarding the share of RFNBO and SAF in produced aviation fuels.

SkyFuelH2 is an industrial-scale project for production of SAF. It will combine in a first-of-a-kind way electrolysis for hydrogen production, gasification of dried and torrefied biomass, Fischer-Tropsch technology for conversion of the syngas to crude and onsite hydro-treatment of the crude and workup for large-scale production of SAF and Sustainable Naphtha. The project is located in Northern Sweden, in the community of Solleftea, one of the most favorable regions with regards to renewable power supply and sustainable biomasses. The so-called power-and-bio-to-liquid process (PBtL) is achieving >90% more SAF yield than a pure BtL process and >10% more yield than two separate PtL and BtL processes.
Fuel type:
SkyfuelH2 is aiming to produce ca 77 kt/a of FT-SPK. The SAF from SkyFuelH2 will comply with ASTM D7566 Annex 1.The GHG reduction is between 88 to 95% (depending on the biomass sourcing distance).
Besides, SkyfuelH2 will produce ca 16 kt/a of Sustainable Naphtha.

FF Frontier Fuels GmbH
With this project, we aim to conduct a small-scale pilot using our newly developed marine biofuel, Bloom E. This is our residual-grade biofuel that can be used as a drop-in solution in ocean-going vessels. This project involves the bunkering of 150 tons of a B30 biofuel and the monitoring of performance over roughly one week. Preparations include obtaining approval from engine manufacturers and classification societies, as well as working with a physical supplier for the fuel delivery. Preparatory onshore engine tests with a third-party laboratory are also possible.
We aim to collaborate with innovative shipping companies interested in exploring the potential of novel biofuels to significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Further opportunities for collaboration include working with physical suppliers for the provision of the fossil component and handling of the bunkering process, as well as engaging with experts from regulatory agencies or classification societies.

TES’s aim is to produce electric natural gas, e-NG which is a product of biogenic CO2 and green hydrogen. We will produce e-NG in locations characterised by an abundance of renewable energy within and outside the European Union. The most advanced projects are in Texas, US and in Canada. We are also developing projects within the European Union and a large import hub for e-NG in Wilhelmshaven, Germany. The applied technologies are existing and proven technologies.
Two components will be the foundation of e-NG: green hydrogen and biogenic CO2. Green hydrogen will be produced via electrolysis including power from a renewable energy source; depending on the location this will be either wind or solar energy. To ensure that the electrolyser is always sufficiently supplied, an energy storage will be connected as well. The Sabatier reactor will transform green hydrogen and biogenic CO2 into e-NG which can be supplied to customers via the existing gas infrastructure.

Arcadia eFuels
Arcadia eFuels will achieve our purpose by creating net zero carbon fuels that use existing infrastructure and work in existing engines.
Our solution uses proven technology in a novel way to meet the significantly outpaced market demand.
We intend to build multiple plants that will each produce 75,000 tons, or 100 million liters, of eFuels per year. Specifically, we’ll produce eDiesel and electro sustainable aviation fuel to power the transportation sector.
Arcadia eFuels is advanced for the site in Vordingborg, Denmark and are currently in development for multiple other sites worldwide.
We have finalized FEED (Basic engineering), have grid connection and secured CO2. Permitting is all handed in and we will be in public hearing mid 2024.
Fuel type:
We will produce eSAF for the aviation sector within the EU, all eSAF will be according to RFNBO-regulations

Repsol
Repsol has been developing the Ecoplanta Molecular Recycling Solution (Ecoplanta) project for several years, together with Enerkem as technological leader. It would be the first plant in Spain for non-recyclable municipal solid waste recovery into circular methanol that would be used to manufacture new materials and advanced biofuels. It is planned to be located in El Morell (Tarragona).
The plant, which is expected to start operations in 2028, will process around 400,000 tonnes of non-recyclable urban solid waste per year, mainly from ecoparks (waste recovery and treatment plants) in nearby towns, which would be equivalent to the waste generated in a year by a population of 800,000 people, thus avoiding the use of virgin raw materials.
Around 240,000 tonnes of circular methanol will be produced from this waste, which serves as a raw material for the production of circular materials and advanced biofuels.

Ineratec
INERATEC is leading the transformation toward a fossil-free future with its pioneer project in Frankfurt Höchst. They are currently building the world’s largest Power-to-Liquid (PtL) plant for the production of sustainable, climate-friendly e-Fuels and e-Chemicals. Beginning in 2025, the plant will recycle up to 8,000 metric tons of CO2 annually, converting it into 2,500 tons of e-Fuels and chemicals. Targeting hard-to-abate sectors like aviation, shipping, and heavy-duty transport, INERATEC provides sustainable solutions such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and synthetic diesel to give those sectors the possibility to reduce their emissions and become decarbonized. This project not only marks INERATEC’s first fully self-operated facility but also represents a global blueprint for future PtL plants worldwide.
