Siemens to scale SAF production with CAPHENIA’s plasma technology
In Germany, Siemens and the cleantech company CAPHENIA have entered a partnership to scale the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel. As preferred automation and digitalization partner, Siemens will provide digitalization and automation solutions for CAPHENIA’s plasma technology, which converts bio-methane into synthesis gas. The goal is a standardized concept that enables the global rollout of commercial production facilities.
CAPHENIA’s technology uses a plasma process to split bio-methane into synthesis gas at temperatures of around 1,500 degrees Celsius. CAPHENIA’s Plasma Boudouard Reactor (PBR) is a globally unique 3-in-1 zone reactor that integrates three established chemical reactions in one system. The resulting synthesis gas can then be further processed into SAF, renewable diesel, or chemical products—without by-products and with minimal energy losses.
