PRESS RELEASE
Alby PtX has signed license and engineering agreements with Topsoe and Sasol for the core fuel production process of its planned synthetic sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) plant in Alby, Sweden. Their Single Point Licensor G2L™ e-fuels technology will support production of approximately 66,000 tons of sustainable synthetic aviation fuel annually, with a process designed to maximize the production of e-SAF and use fossil-free energy and captured carbon efficiently.
Bringing e-SAF production to industrial scale requires technologies that work efficiently together, from the first conversion of captured carbon dioxide and hydrogen to the final fuel. With the selection of Topsoe and Sasol as Single Point Licensor, Alby PtX has secured the technology foundation for this production chain at its planned facility in the municipality of Ånge, Sweden.
Under the agreement, Sasol and Topsoe will deliver their integrated G2L™ e-fuels technology combining Topsoe’s eREACT™ technology for electrified reverse water-gas shift, Sasol’s low-temperature Fischer-Tropsch technology, Sasol LTFT™, and Topsoe’s hydroprocessing technology. These technologies work as an integrated sequence to convert renewable hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide into synthesis gas, then synthetic hydrocarbons and, ultimately, e-SAF.
Alby PtX selected the technology configuration to optimize the plant for aviation fuel production. The eREACT™ technology enables efficient synthesis gas production while reducing renewable hydrogen and power consumption. The integrated process also converts hydrocarbon streams such as Naphtha that might otherwise be recovered as separate co-products into additional aviation fuel. Combined with Sasol’s commercially proven Fischer-Tropsch technology, this supports a high e-SAF yield and efficient use of renewable resources.
“Topsoe and Sasol bring an established technology partnership and extensive experience in certified synthetic fuel production. For Alby PtX, this means putting technology proven over decades to work in a new application. The strength of this combination lies in how the technologies work together: making efficient use of renewable power and captured carbon while maximizing aviation fuel output. This gives us a strong foundation to advance the project and contribute to both aviation’s decarbonization and a more resilient European fuel supply,” said Andreas Schmid, Chairman of the Board at Alby PtX and Executive Director at Prime Capital AG.
“We are pleased to bring decades of experience in Fischer-Tropsch technology to this project, working with Topsoe to provide Alby PtX with an integrated technology solution for the production of sustainable aviation fuel. Through the partnership, Sasol and Topsoe are licensing the technology and providing the licensor package, technical expertise and capabilities to support the development of the facility, which will convert renewable hydrogen and captured carbon into sustainable aviation fuel. Alby PtX is a strong example of how proven technology and collaboration can help advance sustainable aviation fuel projects towards commercial reality and support the development of lower-carbon aviation at scale,” said Sarushen Pillay, Executive Vice President for Business Building, Strategy and Technology at Sasol.
“Scaling the production of e-SAF is an important step towards reducing aviation emissions and strengthening Europe’s energy resilience and supply of sustainable fuels. By combining our e-fuels technologies with Sasol’s technology, we are pleased to support Alby PtX as it advances this project towards the next stage of development,” said Yassir Ghiyati, Chief Commercial Officer at Topsoe.
The agreements translate this technology selection into the next stage of project development. The licensors’ engineering packages will provide the technical basis for the front-end engineering design phase, supporting integration of the production process and advancing Alby PtX towards a final investment decision.
