KHIMOD and Elyse Energy partner to produce SAFs for air transport

Hydrocarbon Engineering,
The project AVEBIO aims to demonstrate the production of sustainable e-fuels for air transport from the not yet recovered carbon dioxide (CO2) of a biofuel production unit. The objective of this industrial pilot is to develop the biomass deposit while using competitive synthetic carbon to revive the e-fuel industry. The AVEBIO project will also include an end-to-end solution from CO2 to e-fuels through the integration of two reactions: reverse Water Gas Shift (rWGS) from CO2 to CO, and Fischer Tropsch from CO to e-fuels.
KHIMOD will supply the heat exchangers-reactors within the CO2 hydrogenation units, producing valuable synthetic molecules and overcoming the main technological hurdle of reverse water-gas transfer, namely heat management. KHIMOD will also supply the Fischer Tropsch reactor and the necessary interaction between the rWGS and the Fischer Tropsch technological bricks. Elyse Energy will coordinate the project and explore the launch of an industrial pilot at the RYAM site in Tartas, France, to valorise biogenic CO2 from the second-generation bioethanol plant.
AVEBIO was supported within the framework of the 4th Future Investment Program – France 2030 through the Call for Projects aimed at “developing a French sector for the production of sustainable aeronautical fuels”, called CARB AERO.
KHIMOD is a French green technology company that develops and markets solutions for the production of valuable synthetic molecules such as e-methane, e-methanol and e-kerosene. KHIMOD's technology is proven in the field and is based on disruptive and innovative exchanger-reactors, allowing the reuse and recovery of CO2. In addition to its reactors, KHIMOD designs and manufactures turnkey systems and provides associated services for the production of these synthetic molecules. KHIMOD is active in several markets on a global scale, namely waste recovery, chemicals, hard-to-kill industries (eg. steel and cement), air and maritime transport.
