Norwegian sustainable aviation fuels <\/strong>(SAF) producer Nordic Electrofuel has received Saudi government approvals to develop an e-SAF plant in Jubail<\/strong>, Chief Executive Gunnar Holen told Argus Media<\/a>. Land and solar energy assets have been set aside by the Kingdom for the project, Holen added. <\/p>\n

The details: <\/strong>The company plans to use energy from solar assets and green hydrogen to annually produce around 350 mn litres of e-SAF, with a 2029 launch date if the project is fast-tracked. Solar energy will come from existing assets in the region, while the company plans to produce its own green hydrogen in the Kingdom. <\/p>\n

SOUND SMART- <\/strong>SAF<\/a> is an alternative fuel made from non-petroleum feedstocks \u2014 raw materials or biomass other than traditional crude oil like cooking oil and waste, which are chemically and physically identical to conventional jet fuel. Since it is a drop-in fuel \u2014 meaning it can be used in the existing fuel systems \u2014 SAF bypasses concerns of incompatibility with existing fuelling infrastructure and can be blended at levels between 10-15%.<\/p>\n

The company has regional ambitions: <\/strong>Another e-SAF plant in Oman is also in the works for Nordic Electrofuel, with plans to use green hydrogen purchased from Oman\u2019s planned mega production projects. The company \u2014 which is set to benefit from the region\u2019s cost-competitive renewable energy \u2014 also plans to use its initial production to supply regional airlines to avoid the EU\u2019s criteria on renewable fuel of non-biological origins.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- Oman has its sights on e-fuel production: <\/strong>In June<\/a>, Omani OQ Group\u2019s green unit OQ Alternative Energy signed two agreements to explore developing e-fuels in Oman. One agreement signed with Belgium\u2019s Tree Energy Solutions (TES) will see the pair assess the viability of electric Natural Gas (e-NG) production, and the other was signed with Dutco, Sumitomo, Automobili Lamborghini, and Airbus for a joint feasibility study to evaluate the production of e-Gasoline and e-SAF. <\/p>\n

KSA as well: <\/strong>Saudi oil giant Aramco is investing \u201c hundreds of mns of USD<\/a> \u201d in multiple SAF demonstration projects in the Kingdom and abroad, including one that was inaugurated in UK\u2019s Oxford Airport in August and another two<\/a> that are planned for launch in Neom in 2025. Another e-fuels demonstration plant with Spain\u2019s Respol was said to be in the works to produce 8k liters per day in Spain. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
