Metafuels launches demo plant at PSI in Switzerland
In the UK, SAF Investor reported that Swiss aviation technology company Metafuels has opened its Aerobrew methanol-to-jet demonstration plant at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Villigen, Switzerland.
The facility will convert renewable methanol, produced from green hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide,into drop-in synthetic aviation fuel (e-SAF), according to the report.
“Opening this plant is the moment our technology moves from development into operation,” said Saurabh Kapoor, CEO of Metafuels. “Achieving this together with PSI shows what is possible when world-class development and entrepreneurship pull in the same direction. From here, our focus is scaling towards commercial production in Rotterdam and beyond.”
The produced e-SAF will be fully compatible with existing aircraft, engines, and airport infrastructure. Metafuels has been collaborating with PSI on the facility since 2024, according to the report.
