thyssenkrupp Uhde selected for Elyse Energy’s Biomass-to-SAF project in France
In Germany, thyssenkrupp Uhde stated that the BioTfueL technology has been selected for the BioTJet project by Elyse Energy and its partners (Axens, Avril, IFPEN). This project will produce sustainable aviation fuel from end-of-life wood waste and local forestry residues with the addition of green hydrogen.
Axens signed a license agreement for BioTfueL technology in 2024, which includes a PRENFLO® gasification technology from thyssenkrupp Uhde, a GASEL technology from Axens (Fischer-Tropsch and Upgrading) with a basic engineering completed in November 2024 and currently being within the detail engineering phase.
The PRENFLO gasification technology is part of thyssenkrupp’s Decarbon Technologies portfolio and will contribute to the sustainable production of biomass-based synthetic products, including methanol, hydrogen, and SAF.
Nadja Håkansson, CEO of thyssenkrupp Uhde, said: “We are proud to see how the E-BioTfueL concept – which includes our advanced PRENFLO technology – has now turned into a first commercial Biomass-to-SAF application in the European Community. The collaboration with our French partners underscores our commitment to driving the green transformation and delivering sustainable value to our customers and stakeholders.”
