Synhelion and INERATEC team up to commercialize solar-based SAF

In Switzerland, Synhelion and INERATEC have joined forces to decarbonize the transportation sector and help it achieve its ambitious net-zero target. By combining their complementing technologies, the climate pioneers can scale their respective clean technologies, paving the way for solar fuels to replace fossil fuels. 

While electrification is a viable option for many sectors, fuel-intensive industries such as aviation will continue to require liquid fuels with a high energy density. This requirement means that a sustainable substitute for fossil-based kerosene is urgently needed to decarbonize aviation. Additionally, recent commitments from major airlines such as SWISS to use solar fuels underpin the growing demand for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). To meet market needs, SAF producers are scaling their technologies. Synhelion and INERATEC’s collaboration will accelerate the roll-out of carbon-neutral fuels.
