Green domestic aviation from Sønderborg using eSAF, GreenAviation

Challenge
At Kassø PtX, European Energy is the first in the world to convert green electricity into e-methanol at large scale. With Kassø PtX, electricity from solar and wind can contribute to the green transition of sectors that cannot be directly electrified. Overall, this supports a transition in Southern Jutland from industries based on fossil fuels to green fuels.

Solution
The purpose of the applied project is to assess the possibility of supplying green aviation fuel to Sønderborg Airport based on e-methanol from Kassø PtX. The project brings together actors from a complete value chain to examine the technical and commercial conditions for producing green aviation fuel using methanol-to-jet technology. The project is expected to result in a decision basis for establishing actual production of green aviation fuel to enable the first green domestic flights from Sønderborg Airport.

Impact
The project will provide a qualified decision basis for Sønderborg Airport and European Energy regarding the initiation of a concrete demonstration project involving the production and use of green aviation fuel. This will be ensured through the following work packages.
