Swiss tech startup Metafuels is set to establish its first commercial-scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plant in Rotterdam. This plant will utilize Metafuels' innovative 'aerobrew' technology to convert renewable methanol into jet fuel, significantly reducing emissions compared to traditional jet fuel. The 'aerobrew' process, developed in collaboration with the Paul Scherrer Institut, ensures scalability and high energy efficiency, allowing airlines to lower their carbon footprints without the need for extensive infrastructure changes. The plant, named Turbe, will initially produce 12,000 liters of SAF per day, with plans to increase production tenfold in the future. By integrating into Evos' storage terminal, the facility will benefit from robust logistical infrastructure for methanol storage. Metafuels CEO Saurabh Kapoor highlights the plant's contribution to Europe's decarbonization targets, providing a crucial solution for aviation to meet future environmental mandates. While the sustainable aviation fuel market remains relatively small globally, the plant's establishment in Rotterdam signifies a step towards meeting the EU's goal of 70% SAF usage by 2050. This strategic collaboration underscores Rotterdam's significance as a key port for sourcing renewable methanol, including biomethanol and e-methanol, further emphasizing the plant's role in advancing sustainable aviation fuel production.
