Sustainable fuel producer Norsk e-Fuel and carbon capture project developer Carbon Centric have signed an agreement for the latter to offtake over a million tons of liquid bioCO2 from Carbon Centric.
The initiative – described as ‘a first in e-SAF production’ by Norsk – will see Carbon Centric produce and deliver C02 to Norsk’s re-Fuel Alpha plant in northern Norway, with an initial annual volume exceeding 130,000 tons. The resulting fuel will, amongst other things, be used to produce sustainable aviation fuel.
Carbon centric will ‘capture and liquify carbon dioxide primarily from waste and biomass incineration, and other high sources of biogenic content’, which will be delivered to the Alpha project via a ‘robust liquid C02 supply chain’ in collaboration with industry experts in the Norwegian liquefied gas and rail cargo logistics sectors.
“This is certainly a first of a kind agreement in this industry,” elaborated Karl Hauptmeier, CEO of Norsk e-Fuel. “An e-Fuel producer, enabled through offtake agreements from the aviation industry… this sends a clear message to the market, there is a viable business for aggregators like Carbon Centric”. He added that C02 will play an important role “in this new industry-in-the-making”.
