Boeing Partners with Norsk e-Fuel to Boost Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production in Europe and Beyond
Key Ideas
  • Boeing collaborates with Norsk e-Fuel to accelerate the production of e-SAF using green hydrogen and recycled CO2, aiming to reduce carbon emissions in aviation.
  • This partnership supports the industry's net-zero emission goal by 2050 set by ICAO and aligns with the European Union's targets to increase SAF usage.
  • The collaboration leverages Boeing's industry expertise and Norsk e-Fuel's PtL technology to drive the commercialization of e-SAF and shape policies for sustainable aviation.
  • Norsk e-Fuel, with investments from partners like Norwegian Air, is dedicated to scaling Power-to-Liquid technology for renewable aviation fuels production.
Boeing has joined forces with Norsk e-Fuel, a prominent developer of Power-to-Liquid (PtL) technology, to boost the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) globally, with a focus on Europe. This collaboration aims to accelerate the aviation industry's efforts to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, as outlined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Norsk e-Fuel will leverage renewable energy sources to produce green hydrogen, which will be combined with recycled CO2 from biogenic sources to create e-SAF, offering a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional jet fuel. The partnership is pivotal as SAF currently represents only 0.53% of global commercial fuel use, and the European Union has set ambitious targets to increase the SAF share to 6% by 2030 and 70% by 2050. By teaming up with Norsk e-Fuel, Boeing aims to significantly contribute to achieving these targets, enhancing SAF production, and shaping policies to ensure the economic viability of the global SAF industry. This collaboration brings together Boeing's aviation and fuel industry expertise with Norsk e-Fuel's innovative technology, supported by partners like Norwegian Air, to drive the commercialization of e-SAF. The partnership is part of the broader industry momentum towards sustainable solutions, as seen in similar collaborations like the recent memorandum of understanding between OMV and Airbus. Norsk e-Fuel, established in 2019, is dedicated to decarbonizing aviation through the production of sustainable fuels, leveraging Power-to-Liquid technology to create renewable aviation fuels at scale.
