In India, BioEnergy Times reported that Concrete Chemicals has secured $419 million in public funding, to realize the largest industrial-scale production facility for Electro-Sustainable Aviation Fuels (e-SAF) in Germany.
The funding has been approved at national and regional level, with the European Commission review now in its final phase. Under the Climate Energy and Environmental Aid Guidelines (CEEAG) framework, this funding is aimed at accelerating the build-out of a competitive clean hydrogen economy, while boosting the EU’s energy sovereignty, the report said.
Using biogenic CO2 and renewable hydrogen, Concrete Chemicals will produce synthetic kerosene through a Power-to-Liquid (PtL) process. The consortium plans to source local CO2 through a cooperation with LEIPA Georg Leinfelder, a leading manufacturer of recycled paper and cardboard products based in Schwedt. The planned production capacity of more than 37,000 tons per year is expected to result in an annual reduction of at least 100,000 tons of fossil CO2 for the aviation industry, the report added.
