Boeing and Norsk e-Fuel Partnership to Propel Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production in Europe
Key Ideas
  • Boeing partners with Norsk e-Fuel to accelerate the production of electro-SAF, aiming to reduce air travel emissions by over 90% compared to traditional jet fuel.
  • The strategic alliance supports the global goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions in aviation by 2050, with Boeing investing in one of Europe's first industrial-scale PtL facilities.
  • Boeing's investment aligns with EU initiatives like the RefuelEU SAF mandate, which targets a 6% share of SAF by 2030 and 70% by 2050, contributing to national energy security and policy development.
  • Norsk e-Fuel's collaboration with Boeing, leveraging expertise and networks, is crucial in making e-fuels competitive with traditional fuels and advancing aviation decarbonization efforts.
Boeing has entered into a strategic partnership with Norsk e-Fuel to accelerate the production and availability of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in the Nordic region and globally. This collaboration aims to support the commercial aviation industry and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) member states in achieving the common goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Norsk e-Fuel will be producing electro-SAF (e-SAF) through the Power-to-Liquids (PtL) process, utilizing green hydrogen and recycled CO2 to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in air travel. The partnership involves Boeing's investment in one of Europe's initial industrial-scale PtL facilities, which will play a vital role in increasing the supply of SAF. The initiative aligns with the EU's RefuelEU SAF mandate, targeting a 6% share of SAF by 2030 and an ambitious 70% by 2050. The collaboration aims to meet these targets through the production of e-SAF, with specific goals set for 2030 and 2050. Boeing's investment is expected to contribute significantly to meeting the EU commitments related to SAF volumes and enhancing energy security in the Nordic region. Moreover, the partnership will help shape policies that support the economic feasibility of the sustainable aviation fuel industry, promoting the long-term competitiveness of the aviation sector. The alliance leverages Boeing's expertise in the SAF industry and Norsk e-Fuel's technological capabilities, along with its strategic partnerships such as with Norwegian, Norway's largest air carrier. The collaboration signals a crucial step towards making e-fuels a competitive and sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels in the aviation sector, ultimately aiding in the industry's transition towards net-zero emissions. Norsk e-Fuel's leadership views Boeing's investment as a significant milestone and a testament to the positive trajectory of the e-fuels production industry.
