"Metafuels' aerobrew technology converts renewable methanol into drop-in jet fuel, delivering up to 90% lower lifecycle emissions than conventional kerosene, with no modifications needed for existing aircraft."
"The Turbe project is designed to initially produce 12,000 litres of e-SAF per day, with a second phase planned to increase production tenfold to 120,000 litres per day."
"The Port of Rotterdam, being Europe's largest port, provides Metafuels with access to the renewable methanol supply chain and logistics infrastructure necessary for the project's viability."
Metafuels has received €1.92 million in funding to develop the Turbe project at the Port of Rotterdam, which will produce sustainable aviation fuel. The project utilizes aerobrew technology to convert renewable methanol into jet fuel, achieving up to 90% lower lifecycle emissions than conventional fuels. Initial production is set at 12,000 litres per day, with plans to scale up to 120,000 litres. The facility aims to serve as a model for future e-SAF production across Europe, with operations expected to begin in 2030.
