The unique project enables zero-emission aviation and brings together leading industry players.
P2X Solutions will supply green hydrogen for Finland’s first synthetic kerosene production pilot, which will produce zero-emission aviation fuel, or eSAF. The pilot, led by technology company Liquid Sun, involves leading industry companies: Finnair, Finavia, Fortum, and ABB. The project is unique in Finland and serves as a pioneer for all of Europe, showing how open collaboration and the involvement of the entire value chain can enable a sustainable change in aviation.
Green hydrogen and biogenic carbon dioxide provide an opportunity to decarbonize sectors, such as air transport, where direct electrification is not possible. eSAF produced from hydrogen can be deployed in current aircraft using existing infrastructure without significant modifications. Hydrogen enables a rapid and large-scale transition to cleaner aviation.
“The production of eSAF presents a huge opportunity for Finland. Europe-wide, approximately 46 million tons of jet fuel are consumed annually, and Finland is in an excellent position to produce eSAF,” says Herkko Plit, Founder and CEO of P2X Solutions. “We have access to abundant emission-free electricity, clean water, biogenic carbon dioxide, and a growing body of expertise in the production of next-generation fuels.”
“The production process of eSAF demands that the entire production chain and its raw materials meet stringent sustainability criteria. For the production of certified green hydrogen, P2X is a pioneer and therefore a natural partner for the eSAF pilot. Moreover, we share a common set of values and the ambition to establish a world-leading eSAF production chain in Finland,” says Pasi Keinänen, Founder and CEO of Liquid Sun.
European Union legislation mandates that by 2030, 1.2% of the jet fuel used must be eSAF. This share is set to increase to 35% by 2050.
