SAF companies working on Air-to-Fuel

The Air-to-Fuel pathway of SAF production is at the forefront of innovation, harnessing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere and combining it with green hydrogen to produce synthetic jet fuel, also known as e-fuel.

Such fuel can help counteract today’s hard-to-abate CO2 emissions while also addressing the large volumes of CO2 emitted in the past. Moreover, unlike biofuels, synthetic fuel doesn’t raise concerns about feedstock supplies and land use.

Although the Power-to-Liquid (PtL) process is currently expensive and needs further development, it has the potential to be a game-changer in reducing harmful emissions. In fact, experts predict that the PtL route will produce the largest volume of sustainable aviation fuel in the long term, with estimated to reach $1,300 per tonne of jet fuel by 2050.
