Revolutionizing Aviation: World's First CO2 and Green Hydrogen-based Sustainable Aviation Fuel Plant in Hull
Key Ideas
  • px Group and OXCCU are collaborating to establish a pioneering sustainable aviation fuel plant in Hull, UK, converting biogenic CO2 and green hydrogen into liquid fuel with majority being SAF.
  • OXCCU's innovative direct CO2 hydrogenation process showcased the potential of turning CO2 into aviation fuel, minimizing byproducts effectively.
  • The project aligns with the UK Government's ambition to lead in SAF production, with plans for at least five commercial SAF plants by 2025, supported by schemes to boost uptake and create jobs.
  • The facility at Saltend Chemicals Park will also complement the Advanced Fuel Fund's strategy of utilizing CO2 for SAF production, addressing feedstock concerns in biofuel SAF routes.
px Group and OXCCU have announced a collaboration to develop a cutting-edge sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production plant in Hull, UK, at Saltend Chemicals Park. The facility aims to convert biogenic CO2 and green hydrogen into 160kgs of liquid fuel per day, with a focus on producing SAF. OXCCU's groundbreaking direct CO2 hydrogenation process has demonstrated the ability to convert CO2 directly into aviation fuel hydrocarbons, showcasing minimal byproducts. The project, planned for operation in 2026, will see px Group handling the engineering design and construction of support facilities along with operational maintenance. The initiative aligns with the UK Government's target to establish the country as a leader in SAF production, with support from schemes promoting uptake and job creation. Additionally, the project complements the Advanced Fuel Fund's strategy of using CO2 as a carbon source for SAF production, countering feedstock challenges in other SAF routes. This development signifies a significant step towards sustainable aviation and industrial decarbonization in the UK, with a strong emphasis on green technology and carbon reduction efforts.
