Technip Energies has been awarded a Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) contract by Arcadia eFuels for the world’s first commercial e-fuels facility for sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) production in Vordingborg, Denmark. Pre-FEED and early works recently concluded, and parties aim to support plant start-up in 2026.
Arcadia eFuels will use renewable electricity, water, and biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce e-fuels that can be used in traditional engines and supplied to the market in existing liquid fuel infrastructures.
The FEED covers the engineering of the first e-fuels plant that will produce approximately 80 000 tpy of e-jet fuel (e-kerosene) and e-naphtha, using novel yet proven technologies. It also covers the engineering of a 250 MW electrolyser plant to produce green hydrogen. The plant will be designed with a flexible product slate to also allow for production of e-diesel. These fuels allow airlines to cut their carbon emissions proportionally, therefore providing the ability for airlines and heavy transportation to meet both voluntary carbon reductions and proposed EU mandates for e-fuels use.
Laure Mandrou, SVP Carbon Free Solutions of Technip Energies, commented: “We are pleased to have been selected by Arcadia eFuels for the FEED of this world’s first commercial power-to-liquid project for e-kerosene production for the aviation industry. By leveraging our engineering expertise and our collaboration to integrate electrolysis and gas-to-liquid technologies, we are committed to bringing this unique project to the execution phase as we continue to support the world’s energy transition.”
Amy Hebert, CEO of Arcadia eFuels, commented: “Technip Energies is a leader in the engineering services for energy transition and has the appropriate experience and drive to ensure a successful first-of-a-kind project for Arcadia eFuels.”
