Nowadays the Swedish Electricity Agency declared it will grant money to KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Södra, Växjö Energi, SkyNRG, Increase Study Institutes of Sweden and 2030-sekretariatet to go on their analysis on the progress of manufacturing of Sustainable Aviation Gas (SAF) in the Växjö region in Småland, Sweden. The funding will guidance the consortium to go on their review on an integrated Fischer-Tropsch SAF generation facility using forestry residues. The envisioned facility has the probable to be an crucial move ahead in producing aviation additional sustainable. The Swedish Energy Company awards the consortium with a grant of 5.1 million SEK (+/-EUR 500.000) to fund the job.


This initially-of-its-sort Fischer-Tropsch SAF creation facility built-in with present bio-dependent electricity output has the likely to deliver superior top quality sustainable fuels and minimize GHG emissions in the aviation sector. The realisation of the plant could provide as a evidence of principle for numerous future crops. By 2026, the plant could be operational with a manufacturing quantity of 16 kilo tonnes SAF annually.


Dutch-Swedish consortium masking the whole price chain


The consortium, which signifies the total worth chain of the creation, joins forces in buy to boost the availability of SAF in Sweden and North Europe. To meet up with potential demand from customers associates will research all engineering, technical, business and sustainability angles of the job. NGOs, the Swedish federal government, Södra, certification techniques, academics and SkyNRGs Sustainability Board are currently being concerned to established the right sustainability framework for this job. Sustainability variables deemed in the research incorporate the carbon equilibrium and the biodiversity of the forest as very well as potential displacement consequences of utilising forestry residues for SAF generation.


SAF not extensively obtainable


The existing technology of plane engines need liquid fuels. These aircraft can’t change to alternative electrical power resources this sort of as hydrogen or electric power in the shorter phrase, and neither can airport infrastructure. SAF, as a drop-in fuel is the resolution to significantly cut down CO2 emissions in aviation in the limited to medium expression, with no modifications to infrastructure or devices required. SAF is not widely out there nevertheless. It has the prospective to minimize carbon emissions by 75 to almost 100 % in its neat sort, depending on the mixture of know-how pathway and feedstock, and as prolonged as stringent sustainability criteria are satisfied.


KLM Royal Dutch Airlines: emphasis on choice technologies


Karel Bockstael, VP Sustainability at KLM, an bold and pioneering airline in creating the procedure and the aviation sector much more sustainable: To be in a position to come to be additional sustainable in the future, KLM is focusing on scaling up production and use of SAF. For much more SAF, we have to focus on all technologies aspect by facet and encourage the preliminary upscaling of generation services. The software we assist in Sweden is an essential future move in the enhancement. Present systems centered on made use of cooking oils will get to its restrict owing to shortage, and the enhancement of sustainable synthetic SAF has fiscal and technological worries to defeat. The technologies we will be deploying in Sweden is dependent on Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, and generates jet fuel based mostly on forestry residues. There is a good deal of this residue readily available in Sweden and the rest of Europe, creating it a promising undertaking.


Södra: little-scale family forestry of 53,000 forest homeowners


Lotta Lyrå, President and CEO of Södra, an intercontinental forest sector group and the largest forest-owner association in Sweden with a membership of 53,000 forest homeowners: Södra is devoted to maximize the use of each and every tree that will come from our 53,000 members forests in Southern Sweden. Utilizing every single component like residues is important in our ambition to show the way to a fossil-cost-free society and add to the local weather changeover. Producing higher high quality Sustainable Aviation Gasoline from forest residues not acceptable for structures or other elements is a way of accomplishing so and assist de-carbonize aviation. With this consortium, we are doing the job by the total worth chain to get the subsequent phase toward making a new marketplace of Sustainable Aviation Gas.


Växjö, greenest Town in Europe


Erik Tellgren, CEO of Växjö Energi, company of items and products and services in the parts of energy, district heating and district cooling in Växjö Municipality, Sweden: Växjö Energi delivers efficiently created fossil absolutely free district heating, district cooling and energy at the CHP plant Sandviksverket in Växjö Municipality, Sweden. Växjö, the Greenest City in Europe, has a potent will to proceed contributing to decreasing local weather change. We also trust it is valuable to prolong our plant to also generate sustainable aviation gas from forest residues. This would be wonderful and as a 1st-of-a-variety project of crucial importance to the sustainable electricity transition required.


SkyNRG, SAF frontrunner


Maarten van Dijk, Running Director of SkyNRG, pioneer in SAF with the industrys most important devoted SAF crew: As a person of the worldwide market place leaders in Sustainable Aviation Gasoline we are active companions in a multitude of projects, centered on scaling various feedstock/technological know-how pathways. The opportunity to use forestry residues for increased price conclusion-works by using, like SAF, is there. But in advance of taking a up coming move in scaling up, it is critical to make confident we recognize the sustainability and impacts of this new, integrated supply chain. We are therefore pretty grateful for the solid partnership and economic aid from the Swedish governing administration to acquire a next massive step in comprehending the true probable of this feedstock/engineering setup.
