Aviation fuel from CO2

The TAKE-OFF project will develop and demonstrate the technology needed for the production of the next generation Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) using captured CO2 and hydrogen. This technology route aims to develop a highly innovative process which produces SAF at lower costs and higher energy efficiency compared to other power-to-liquid alternatives.

Antonio La Mantia, Director of Communications and Events and Pietro Guarato, Technical Officer at our project partner CO2 Value Europe, have jointly written an article that shines a spotlight on the TAKE-OFF project.

THE REFUEL EU AVIATION REGULATION FORMALLY ADOPTED BY THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

On the 13th of September, the European Parliament adopted the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation, marking a step towards more sustainable aviation in Europe. Now definitively adopted, the ReFuel EU Aviation Regulation includes mandatory

TAKE-OFF PRESENTED AT JOINT WORKSHOP ON THE CONVERSION OF CO₂ TO FUELS

On the 18th of September, Andrei Khodakov, Research Director at our project partner CNRS (Centre national de la recherche scientifique) presented the TAKE-OFF project during the online Workshop on the Conversion of

PROJECT CONCEPT

The  TAKE-OFF project entitled “Production of synthetic renewable aviation fuel from CO2 and H2” has received funding for 4 years  from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement N°101006799 .

TAKE-OFF’s aim is to produce more energy efficient, and high environmental performance  Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) at lower cost to decrease the carbon footprint and climate impact of flying.

In that context, the project will develop and industrially validate innovative processes for the direct conversion of CO2 and renewable H2 to light olefins and subsequent conversion to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Next to this, the indirect conversion of CO2 and renewable H2 to light olefins, via methanol/dimethyl ether will also be demonstrated. Both technology developments for the direct and the indirect route are complementary and serve to advance the  development of the proposed technology chain, while also minimising risk by a multi angle approach.

The TAKE-OFF project is led by TNO and gathers a highly skilled and multidisciplinary consortium from the entire SAF technology chain.
