French company Haffner Energy and Icelandic startup IdunnH2 have joined forces to establish a sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) facility near Keflavik International Airport in Iceland. The facility, with an annual capacity of 65,000 tonnes, will leverage green hydrogen from Iceland's renewable power grid and biogenic carbon from Haffner Energy's biomass thermolysis technology. This partnership aims to address the challenge of sourcing recycled carbon by utilizing solid biocarbon, or biochar, a byproduct of biomass thermolysis. The companies believe that biocarbon is a more cost-effective and easier-to-transport alternative to CO2, potentially revolutionizing the economics of e-SAF production. Scheduled to commence operations in 2028, IdunnH2's 300MW e-SAF facility in Helguvik will blend the SAF on-site with conventional jet fuel, drawn from renewable sources like wind, geothermal, and hydropower. The production aligns with the European Union's SAF mandate and is expected to meet a significant portion of Iceland's jet fuel demand, enhancing energy security and reducing import dependence. The agreement between Haffner Energy and IdunnH2 is seen as a crucial step in directing Iceland's renewable power towards sustainable aviation, with Icelandair committed to utilizing a substantial portion of the SAF produced. Haffner Energy's expertise in biomass thermolysis also extends to other sustainable energy solutions, such as renewable gas, hydrogen, and methanol production, alongside sustainable aviation fuel. The company is working on its SAF production project at Paris-Vatry Airport, with plans for significant future expansion and collaborations with LanzaJet for carbon recycling and ethanol-to-SAF conversion. This partnership signifies a significant leap towards more sustainable aviation practices and energy security in Iceland.
