About
Sustainable “drop-in” aviation fuel (SAF) is crucial for the rapid reduction of CO2 emissions in aviation. The success of SAF ultimately depends on the availability and cost of renewable electricity, which is why the Chair of Energy Systems at the Technical University of Munich is researching the most efficient production routes and their techno-economic evaluation. The biomass-to-liquid (BtL) process routes are conducted via thermochemical conversion by means of gasification into synthesis gas, which can then be converted into SAF by means of various chemical processes. However, SAF can also be produced using PtL, whereby renewable hydrogen from electrolysis and CO2 are used as raw materials.
