Power2X and Advario to Develop 'World Scale' Sustainable Aviation Fuel Hub in Port of Rotterdam
Key Ideas
- Power2X and Advario plan to establish a large-scale production facility in the Port of Rotterdam to produce over 250,000 tonnes/year of e-SAF by 2030.
- The facility will be a significant advancement in e-SAF production, utilizing green hydrogen and methanol as feedstock, and will contribute 40% of required e-SAF volume upon launch.
- Advario will develop a storage and logistics facility to ensure a stable supply chain for the green molecules, positioning Rotterdam as a key hub for sustainable aviation fuels in Europe.
- The project aligns with Europe's decarbonisation goals, reducing CO2 emissions by 90% compared to conventional jet fuel, and supports the increased use of e-SAF mandated from 2030 onwards.
Power2X and Advario have announced plans to develop a 'world scale' sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) hub in the Port of Rotterdam. The Power2X production facility, set to open by 2030, aims to produce over 250,000 tonnes per year of e-SAF, a non-fossil synthetic fuel made from green hydrogen. This facility will be the largest e-SAF facility announced to date, providing sufficient ultra-low carbon fuel to power around 7,000 flights annually between Amsterdam and New York. To ensure a stable supply chain, Advario will develop a storage and logistics facility with a capacity of approximately 230,000 cubic meters. The strategic location in the Port of Rotterdam will offer direct access to European airports, making it a crucial distribution hub for sustainable aviation fuels. The project aligns with Europe's decarbonisation goals, as e-SAF can reduce lifecycle carbon emissions by 90% compared to conventional jet fuel. The hub will contribute 40% of required e-SAF volume when it launches, supporting Europe's increased use of SAF from 2030 onwards. The initiative underscores a commitment to green innovation and sustainable energy solutions, emphasizing the importance of e-SAF in meeting future aviation fuel demands and transitioning towards greener production methods.
