Aviation industry

The aviation industry needs to decarbonize.

A key enabler will be the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). With our wide range of proven technologies, we are already helping to ramp up production of SAF.

Let’s take off together towards a more sustainable future.

Topsoe and Aviation

Air travel currently accounts for around 2.5% of global carbon emissions1. Airline travel industry body IATA has committed to net zero carbon by 20502, with two-thirds of the reduction in emissions enabled by SAF. This means the decarbonization of aviation requires a massive increase in SAF production.

We at Topsoe have expertise in multiple pathways leading to certified SAF. Thanks to our long experience of developing proven technologies for a more decarbonized world, we can offer SAF planning, processing, and production – and our partners are already seeing the results worldwide.

In America, we have helped the largest SAF producer in the western hemisphere to turn idle hydrotreater capacity into a renewable fuels opportunity.

Adressing your needs

Above all, we offer options. We recognize that everyone’s path to their net zero destination is different – and we’re here to help you plan it with feedstock flexibility and a range of proven technologies. It’s important to remember that SAF can be implemented right now: the best and fastest way to scale SAF production is to use existing refinery infrastructure to co-process biobased feedstocks.

Our range of proven technologies is ready to help you produce SAF from a range of renewable feedstocks. Using our HydroFlex™ technology, you can produce HEFA-SPK ASTM-certified renewable jet fuel, a drop-in replacement for JET A/A-1. Our G2L™ Biofuels gasification process turns waste feedstocks into syngas and then to FT-SPK fuel.

Completely carbon-neutral air travel can be enabled by our G2L™ eFuels technology, which uses green hydrogen and CO₂via carbon capture to efficiently produce FT-SPK/eJet and a green naphtha. The Fischer-Tropsch technology is provided by our strategic partner Sasol under a single-point license.
