FLIGHT PLAN GREEN: TECHNOLOGY ROUTES

Discover how Topsoe’s range of proven technologies is ready to help you meet rising demand and produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel.

Expert perspectives on Sustainable Aviation Fuel

This report provides a comprehensive review of the opportunities and challenges for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) adoption, featuring leading experts from across the value chain.

The right routes

Ground control, do you copy? At Topsoe we have developed the routes that we think are the best way to reach your destination: low-carbon travel.

From the cutting-edge HydroFlex™ technology to the single-point license G2L™ Biofuels and eFuels, we have mapped out routes to achieving feedstock flexibility and ensuring more sustainable travel happens now.

Whatever your feedstock, a low-carbon jet fuel with good yields is possible.

HydroFlex™

Get full feedstock flexibility with HydroFlex™. This market-leading technology utilizes Topsoe’s hydroprocessing expertise to enable the processing of virgin oils, waste oils and fats, solid biomass, and plastic waste / tires to produce HEFA-based Sustainable Aviation Fuel with minimal Carbon Intensity (CI) compared to traditional petroleum aviation fuel.

HydroFlex™ has a high number of running references, versatile process design, hardware, and a comprehensive range of proprietary catalysts for renewable fuel production.

G2L™ Biofuels

Go the synthetic- and gas-based route for Sustainable Aviation Fuel with G2L™ Biofuels. This commercially proven technology utilizes Topsoe’s hydroprocessing technologies as well as Sasol’s LTFT™ technology to produce Fischer-Tropsch Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (FT-SPK).

We supply the core technologies and engineering, catalysts, proprietary hardware, and technical services in a single-point license and offer a feed-in / product-out guarantee.

G2L™ eFuels

Create eFuels from renewable energy via green hydrogen, and from CO₂ via carbon capture. By combining synthesis gas, Fischer-Tropsch and hydroprocessing technologies, the G2L™ eFuels solution efficiently produces FT-SPK/eJet and a green naphtha.

The process is built around already proven solutions, integrating newly developed technologies like our fully electrified eREACT^TM. This means a viable way forward for establishing eFuels production is ready now.

The Fischer-Tropsch technology is provided by our strategic partner Sasol under a single-point-license.

A robust SAF pathway that uses methanol as an intermediate in jet fuel production, allowing producers to handle and capitalize on a range of bio feedstocks.

Our MTJet™ technology is based on years of commercial experience and internal research and development within methanol synthesis and methane-rich gas-to-gasoline processes – TIGAS™.

Using Topsoe’s methanol synthesis process, MTJet^TM eFuels can operate at just 10% of its design capacity and handle temporary electrolyzer shutdown, allowing operations to run directly off methanol storage tanks. The result is a methanol-to-jet solution that can deliver eJet fuel from renewable electricity, water, and CO2 – creating a truly end-to-end feedstock-to-fuel process pathway.

The process grants the flexibility to handle feedstock fluctuations while providing around-the-clock operational stability. 

Knowledge Special: SAF TALKS^TM

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) continues to be recognized as a crucial solution for driving down the CO2 emissions of the aviation industry. And yet, SAF currently accounts for less than 1% of the global jet fuel consumption. 

To fuel knowledge sharing of what it'll take to scale-up SAF, we've composed a second season of SAF Talks^TM filmed during our second SAF Summit in Copenhagen in November 2023.

In a total of 9 bite-sized videos, frontrunners from across the SAF value chain share their latest trends and insights. And trust us! The industry is far from being at a standstill with numerous development underway...
