In Belgium, Hydrogen Europe reported that Liquid Sun launched an eSAF production pilot with ABB, Finnair, Fortum, and Finavia.
The pilot aims to establish a functioning ecosystem and value chain for synthetic fuel production in Finland, according to the report.
Originating from research at Tampere University, Liquid Sun has developed an innovation based on low-temperature electrolysis (LTE) technology that converts CO2 emissions and renewable hydrogen into eSAF.
The pilot electro-fuel production unit, to be located in Espoo, will be fully operational in autumn 2025. This is the first pre-commercial production pilot of its kind, aiming to establish a functioning ecosystem and value chain for synthetic fuel production in Finland. In this collaborative project, the companies will jointly develop eSAF production, conduct validation, and build capabilities for globally scalable processes to secure the future supply of domestically produced sustainable aviation fuel, according to the report.
