In Spain, Moeve said it is joining forces with other companies in the Global Impact Coalition (GIC) to advance a new methanol-based pathway for the production of electro-sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) and low-carbon chemicals.
As part of the ongoing feasibility study, the companies have formalized a spin-off structure to accelerate the development of this innovative process based on methanol-to-olefins (MTO) technology, a more sustainable alternative to conventional fossil-fuel-based production techniques.
The firm noted that the initiative represents a strategic breakthrough in the development of a differentiated route to synthetically sourced sustainable aviation fuels (e-SAF), distinct from the Fischer-Tropsch process. The process allows the conversion of e-methanol to e-SAF through the production of sustainable olefins, the company said.
“This initiative represents a strategic step in Moeve’s ambition to lead the development of new low-carbon value chains ,” said Carlos Barrasa, Executive Vice President of Commercial & Clean Energies at Moeve. “By promoting sustainable methanol-based pathways, we are not only enabling the future production of e-SAFs, but also supporting the transformation of the chemical industry with cleaner feedstocks. The Global Impact Coalition provides a collaborative platform and the vision needed to drive these groundbreaking innovations at scale.”
