Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a liquid fuel produced through the "electricity–hydrogen–carbon" pathway using renewable energy and low-carbon carbon sources. It is a key technology route for deep decarbonization in the aviation sector. Compared to conventional jet fuel, SAF significantly reduces lifecycle carbon emissions while remaining compatible with existing aviation infrastructure.
In the Power-to-X framework, SAF is typically synthesized from green hydrogen and CO₂ via a syngas pathway coupled with thermocatalytic processes. Representative routes include RWGS combined with Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis, with extensions through the methanol pathway. In essence, SAF converts electrical energy into high-density liquid fuel driven by renewable power.
EPC provides end-to-end solutions for SAF engineering, from technology validation and system integration to demonstration deployment, driving SAF from laboratory to industrial application.
