en.Wedoany.com Reported - Metafuels announced that its Dutch subsidiary has secured a €1.92 million subsidy from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) to advance its Turbine synthetic Sustainable Aviation Fuel (eSAF) project in the Port of Rotterdam. This funding will support the project's progression to the final investment decision stage, covering core activities such as front-end engineering design, permitting and approvals, and commercial negotiations.
The project is located at the Evos storage and transshipment terminal in the Port of Rotterdam. Leveraging the company's proprietary methanol-to-jet fuel core technology, it can produce cost-effective electro-fuels at scale, aligning with the carbon neutrality goals of the Netherlands and the European Union.
The Turbine project is the first commercial-scale deployment of methanol-to-jet fuel technology and is set to become a blueprint for the construction of large-scale synthetic fuel plants in Europe. Targeted for commissioning in 2030, it aligns with the EU's green aviation fuel policies. Utilizing the terminal's established methanol storage and handling infrastructure, multimodal logistics system, and specialized workforce, the project can scale up rapidly, helping to establish the Port of Rotterdam as a key hub for low-carbon fuels.
The methanol-to-jet fuel pathway uses renewable methanol as feedstock, producing fuel that is directly compatible with existing aircraft and refueling infrastructure. Compared to traditional feedstocks like used cooking oil, this pathway is not limited by feedstock availability, offering significant advantages for large-scale production. When produced using green electricity, green hydrogen, and captured carbon, the lifecycle carbon emissions can be reduced by up to 90% compared to conventional fossil jet fuel.
