French sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) developer Elyse Energy has chosen biofuel technology to convert wood waste and forestry residues into cleaner jet fuel using clean hydrogen. The project, named BioTJet, located in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques region of France, is set to produce 110,000 tonnes of e-fuels starting in 2029. The technology involves heating wood waste to create syngas and then adding clean hydrogen to enhance fuel quality and efficiency. Elyse Energy aims to provide cost-competitive e-fuels through this innovative process. The project, supported by partners like Axens and thyssenkrupp Uhde, is expected to be France's first commercial e-biofuel plant, contributing to sustainable aviation fuel and naphtha production. With the EU pushing for increased SAF usage to reduce aviation emissions, projects like BioTJet are crucial for meeting targets. The article also mentions the EU's ReFuelEU Aviation regulation, which mandates a significant increase in SAF usage, highlighting the urgency in transitioning to cleaner aviation fuels.
