Equilibrion and Rolls-Royce SMR sign MOU for nuclear powered SAF
The Rolls-Royce SMR is designed to provide clean, reliable cost-competitive energy through its ‘factory-built’ SMR technology. The heat and electricity from a Rolls-Royce SMR power station is well suited to industrial processes, such as hydrogen production and synthetic fuel synthesis, that require consistent energy inputs.
Equilibrion is a UK project development and technology company creating new commercial opportunities for nuclear energy across hard-to-decarbonise industries. Eq.flight is Equilibrion’s proprietary modular system for producing SAF at commercial scale and with lower lifecycle emissions compared to other technologies making it ideal for UK and international deployment.
Eq.flight will produce e-SAF with electricity and heat -also known as power-to-liquids (PtL) SAF – which will contribute to the UK’s SAF Mandate targets. The enhanced efficiency of the system will produce more SAF using less energy and be a key enabler to securing domestic e-SAF production and the associated jobs and economic growth.
Supported by a Department for Transport grant under the Advanced Fuels Fund, Equilibrion and its partners are delivering a world-leading UK-based demonstration of Eq.flight by 2030 to confirm both the technical viability and economic case of the system.
