In India, BieEnergy Times reported that Eurowings has entered into a partnership with Greenlyte, a start-up building a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) laboratory at Düsseldorf Airport. Under the agreement, Eurowings will be the exclusive purchaser of the SAF produced during the project’s first three years.
The facility will use a “power-to-liquid” kerosene process, which captures CO2 directly from the air and combines it with green hydrogen to produce synthetic fuel. Once operational, it is expected to generate around 150 tons of SAF annually—enough to power about 60 Düsseldorf–Palma flights using a 50% fuel blend, according to the report.
Düsseldorf Airport CEO Lars Redeligx called Eurowings’ commitment to purchasing the fuel a strong signal for the sector. He said scaling up production and improving manufacturing processes are vital to making electricity-based SAF more affordable in the future, the report added.
