VITRY-LE-FRANçOIS, FRANCE, July 7, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Haffner Energy launches SAFNOCA, an built-in solution that unlocks the pathway for the large manufacturing of aggressive sustainable aviation gasoline (SAF). Its patented know-how of renewable artificial gasoline manufacturing from diversified biomass and natural waste will play a decisive function within the decarbonization of aviation. Haffner Energy is in discussions with main business gamers (airways, know-how suppliers and undertaking builders) to deploy SAFNOCA.
Haffner Energy is focusing on SAF manufacturing items from 2025 with a capability over 35,000 metric tonnes per yr, in keeping with aviation sector decarbonization plans. For instance, Geneva Worldwide Airport in Switzerland consumed 410,000 tonnes of fossil kerosene per yr in 2022, for 14 million passengers (the identical quantity of passengers as New-York Laguardia in 2022). A SAF manufacturing unit of 41,000 tonnes per yr would cowl 10% of the airport’s wants.
SAFNOCA’s game-changing benefit: entry to biogenic carbon, the primary impediment to SAF mass manufacturing
SAF is important to the decarbonization of aviation. Its manufacturing requires a mixture of renewable hydrogen and biogenic carbon. Solely sustainable biomass and renewable natural waste can at the moment present this biogenic carbon in a important approach. Though biomass deposits are important, their dispersion, seasonal and interannual variations strongly favor processes which might be agnostic to the kind of biomass exploited.
That is a key differentiating issue of the know-how developed by Haffner Energy. Its course of is especially environment friendly in changing all out there seasonal sustainable biomass residues successfully with just about no restrictions. This contains natural waste. Being agnostic to biomass and waste removes the primary barrier to huge entry to biogenic carbon, whereas securing provide.
This benefit is additional enhanced by the actual fact SAFNOCA has a just about impartial carbon footprint in a full life-cycle evaluation, decreasing the ensuing SAF CO2 emissions by over 90%.
“In the present day, civil aviation stays nearly completely depending on fossil fuels, and that decarbonizing is a essential problem, although extra advanced than for street mobility. By way of its SAFNOCA solution, Haffner Energy is in a place to make a huge contribution to the decarbonization of aviation, by offering the lacking hyperlink within the worth chain that may allow the manufacturing of aggressive, plentiful carbon impartial SAF”, says Philippe Haffner, Chairman and CEO of Haffner Energy.
Why is SAF important, and the way can it’s produced?
SAF is a bio-kerosene clean-fuel with a diminished carbon footprint.
It’s the solely important approach to decarbonize air transport within the brief and medium time period, with out having to switch the 26,000 plane at the moment in day by day operation, in addition to any new plane which might be anticipated to double international air visitors by 2050. Different decarbonization choices are being thought-about for the long run, comparable to hydrogen, however will stay inaccessible for long-haul flights.
Thus far, SAF manufacturing covers simply 0.3% of the world’s aviation kerosene consumption. It’s nearly completely produced by the HEFA course of, which makes use of oleochemical and lipid-based intrants. Vegetable oils, animal fat and used cooking oils are focused. Nonetheless, this course of is prone to play a restricted function sooner or later because of the restricted availability of those oleic biomasses.
Applied sciences that convert residual strong biomass and natural waste, utilizing the thermochemical Fischer-Tropsch course of will lead. It’s on this class that the technological brick mastered and equipped by Haffner Energy falls: SAFNOCA.
Haffner Energy has 30 years’ expertise within the manufacturing of renewable power from biomass, with 40 tasks accomplished and nearly 600 MW put in capability. From 2010 it developed SYNOCA® and HYNOCA®, applied sciences protected by 15 patent households enabling the manufacturing of renewable hydrogen and renewable artificial gasoline whose physico-chemical properties are completely suited to a Fischer-Tropsch(1).
A legislative framework favorable to the deployment of SAF in the US and Europe
The mass manufacturing and use of SAF is a precedence for civil aviation. New legislative frameworks carried out in lots of elements of the world are one of many predominant key elements favoring the usage of SAF.
Within the European Union, a minimum of 2% of aviation fuels have to be sustainable by 2025. This share will enhance each 5 years: 6% in 2030, 20% in 2035, 34% in 2040, 42% in 2045 and 70% in 2050.
America has higher ambitions. The Clear Hydrogen Strategic Roadmap revealed on June 5, 2023 units a goal of manufacturing 3 billion gallons of SAF from biomass and waste per yr by 2030, and 35 billion gallons by 2050. The aim by 2050 is to produce ample SAF to satisfy 100% of aviation gasoline demand and to place the aviation sector on a pathway to full decarbonization. The US SAF Grand Problem estimates a 600-fold enhance in SAF manufacturing by 2030 in comparison with 2021, with a want for greater than 400 biorefineries by 2050.
The U.S Division of Energy recognized a deposit of 1 billion dry tons of residual biomass per yr. The Inflation Discount Act gives substantial incentives for the manufacturing of SAF by introducing a tax credit score of as much as $1.75 per gallon of SAF, relying on its carbon footprint. SAFNOCA ought to obtain the utmost tax credit score, because of its very low carbon footprint.
Meet Haffner Energy in Houston on July 24
Haffner Energy can be in Houston from 24 to 30 July 2023 to current SAFNOCA solution. Marcella Franchi, SVP North America, can be talking on the RNG & SAF Capital Markets Summit. Haffner Energy can be in Houston once more for the Sustainable Aviation Futures North America Congress from 2 to 4 October 2023.
