Genvia and Airbus are partnering to characterize the benefits provided by the solid oxide electrolyser technology to produce low carbon hydrogen, including notably in the context of producing hydrogen-derived synthetic sustainable aviation fuel (“eSAF”), the Genvia announced on 24 January.
Genvia and Airbus partnership aims to model and quantify the technical and commercial advantages of Genvia’s solid oxide electrolyser technology for the production of low carbon synthetic Sustainable Aviation Fuel (“eSAF”). Several production pathway architectures will be evaluated using either hydrogen production with Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cells (SOEC) or syngas production with co-SOEC, combined with various CO2 sourcing alternatives. The maturity of the technology components along the production value chain will also be evaluated in the study.
The initial concept study will be conducted in the first half of 2024 with the financial support of the region Occitanie’s Innovation Projects program. Committed to facilitate connections between Genvia and major companies and local industries, the Occitanie Region actively participated in the collaboration with Airbus.
Following the study, the partners with jointly explore opportunities to develop an e-kerosene pilot plant project located in the Occitanie region of France.
