Innovative Partnership to Revolutionize Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production in Iceland
Key Ideas
  • Haffner Energy and IðunnH2 have signed an agreement to integrate biogenic carbon technology with green hydrogen for e-SAF production in Iceland, reducing costs and carbon supply challenges.
  • Haffner Energy's innovative biocarbon gasification technology will transform the economics of e-SAF production by providing a cost-effective alternative to biogenic CO2 capture and storage.
  • The 300MW e-SAF facility in Helguvík, Iceland, will produce 65,000 tons of carbon-neutral SAF using renewable power sources and is expected to start production in 2028, exceeding the 2030 blending requirement at Keflavík Airport.
  • The project aligns with the SAF EU mandate and will contribute significantly to Iceland's energy transition, reducing emissions, import dependence, and improving air quality in the region.
Haffner Energy and IðunnH2 have entered into a strategic partnership to revolutionize the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in Iceland. The agreement aims to combine Haffner Energy's biogenic carbon technology with IðunnH2's green hydrogen expertise to develop a 65,000 tonnes/year e-SAF facility near Keflavík International Airport. By utilizing green hydrogen from Iceland's renewable grid and biogenic carbon from Haffner Energy's technology, the project addresses the challenge of sourcing biogenic carbon in regions with limited access, like Iceland. Haffner Energy's innovative approach of gasifying solid biocarbon onsite provides a cost-effective solution compared to capturing and storing biogenic CO2. The partnership is expected to make e-SAF production economically viable by reducing costs associated with carbon supply. The e-SAF facility in Helguvík, scheduled to commence production in 2028, will leverage renewable energy sources like wind, geothermal, and hydropower to produce carbon-neutral SAF that will exceed blending requirements at Keflavík Airport. This project aligns with the Sustainable Aviation Fuel EU mandate and is set to supply a significant portion of Iceland's jet fuel demand, contributing to the country's energy transition goals. Icelandair has already committed to using a substantial portion of the e-SAF produced at the facility. Overall, the partnership between Haffner Energy and IðunnH2 represents a major step towards creating a sustainable aviation industry in Iceland, reducing emissions, enhancing energy security, and promoting the use of renewable power in aviation.
