Spanish Cement Plant to Provide CO2 for Green Hydrogen Aviation Fuel Plant
Key Ideas
  • Holcim's cement plant in Villaluenga de la Sagra will supply captured CO2 for a new green hydrogen and e-fuels plant in Spain.
  • The project, led by Ignis P2X, Exolum, and Holcim, aims to produce 100,000tpa of green hydrogen-derived synthetic aviation fuel.
  • The Eco2Fly plant is set to be commissioned in 2031, with 1.5GW of renewables powering the electrolysers to produce over 45,000tpa of renewable H2.
  • This initiative demonstrates a significant step towards sustainable aviation by utilizing green hydrogen for synthetic fuels production.
Holcim's cement plant in Villaluenga de la Sagra, located south of Madrid, is set to play a crucial role in a groundbreaking project aimed at producing green hydrogen-derived synthetic aviation fuel. This initiative involves the construction of a new 400MW green hydrogen and e-fuels plant in Spain, capable of generating 100,000 tons per annum of sustainable aviation fuel using CO2 captured from Holcim's cement production process. The project is a collaboration between Ignis P2X, a joint venture between Spanish renewables company Ionic and US-based KKR, Exolum, a Spanish bulk liquids logistics firm, and Holcim. The Eco2Fly green hydrogen and e-kerosene plant will be situated at Holcim's cement plant in Villaluenga de la Sagra. The facility is scheduled to be operational by 2031 and will be powered by 1.5GW of renewable energy sources. It is designed to produce over 45,000 tons per annum of renewable hydrogen exclusively for the synthetic fuels plant, marking a significant milestone in sustainable aviation fuel production. By utilizing captured CO2 and renewable energy for green hydrogen production, this project represents a positive step towards reducing carbon emissions in the aviation sector and advancing the transition to cleaner energy sources.
