Elyse Energy to Produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel from Wood Waste with Clean Hydrogen in France
Key Ideas
  • Elyse Energy in France to convert wood waste into cleaner jet fuel using clean hydrogen.
  • Thyssenkrupp Uhde's BioTfueL® technology selected for BioTJet project aiming to produce 110,000 tonnes of e-fuels by 2029.
  • Successful testing of the biofuel technology in a semi-industrial plant by the Bionext consortium between 2010 and 2021.
  • Partnership agreements and licensing deals in place to advance the development and production of sustainable aviation fuel.
Elyse Energy, a sustainable aviation fuel developer in France, has chosen biofuel technology that will enable the conversion of wood waste and forestry residues into cleaner jet fuel by incorporating clean hydrogen. The project, known as BioTJet, is located in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques region and aims to produce 110,000 tonnes of e-fuels starting in 2029. Thyssenkrupp Uhde's BioTfueL® technology was selected for this initiative. The technology underwent successful testing in a semi-industrial plant over a considerable period, from 2010 to 2021, under the supervision of the Bionext consortium, which includes Avril, Axens, CEA, IFP Energies Nouvelles, Total Energies, and thyssenkrupp Uhde. Axens has also entered into a licensing agreement for the BioTfueL® technology in 2024, encompassing thyssenkrupp Uhde’s PRENFLO® gasification and Axens’ GASEL®. These partnerships and agreements signify significant progress in the development and production of sustainable aviation fuel from wood waste, emphasizing a positive step towards cleaner energy solutions.
