    About

    **Why Fischer-Tropsch offers a stronger business case for eSAF production. **

    As eSAF projects move from concept to execution, technology choice becomes critical. Yield, cost, risk, and scalability all shape the business case.

    In this technical webinar, Topsoe compares Fischer Tropsch (FT) and Methanol to Jet (MTJ) from a technology licensor perspective. Based on an internal technology comparison, we explain why FT currently stands out as a compelling pathway for eSAF production.

    *What you'll learn: *
    How FT and MTJ perform side by side on yield, economics and risk, using same feedstock.
    Where FT creates more value for eSAF, including higher output and lower levelized cost enabled by G2L-based FT.
    What drives successful execution, from technology maturity and bankability to industrial experience from Sasol's FT operations behind the FT pathway.
