Comprehensive evaluation of synthetic kerosene production via methanolation.
Working with Ekium has greatly helped us to better approach the production of e-SAF via Methanol-to-Jet (MTJ).
This project aimed to assess the technical and economic feasibility of producing e-kerosene (30 kT/year) via methanolation (CO₂ and H₂), followed by a process to convert methanol into kerosene (Methanol to Olefins to Jet).
The study also compared this approach with the alternative route of e-kerosene production via Fischer-Tropsch, in order to identify the most promising technology.
