In the Netherlands, the Port of Rotterdam reported that Power2X and Advario are developing a world-scale production and storage hub for sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) and synthetic, ultra-low carbon fuels in the port of Rotterdam.
The Power2X production facility will have the capacity to produce over 250,000 tons/year of e-SAF.
The facility will use imported green methanol produced from green hydrogen and biogenic carbon as feedstock as well as locally produced green hydrogen. Green methanol will be imported from locations where renewable energy and green hydrogen are abundant.
Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, said: “SAF production facilities in Rotterdam currently supply 24% of Europe’s aviation fuel need. According to the European Union’s target, 20% of all aviation fuel is to be produced from renewable sources. The production of e-SAF in Rotterdam is therefore important to meet future SAF demand. This project by Advario and Power2X is an example of the successful conversion of land in the port of Rotterdam from fossil fuel to green, sustainable production”.
