JM and bp chosen by EDL to support production of SAF at HyKero plant in Germany
In the UK, Johnson Matthey (JM) and bp announced that EDL Anlagenbau Gesellschaft mbH (EDL) has selected their co-developed Fischer Tropsch (FT) CANS technology for EDL’s HyKero plant located in Böhlen-Lippendorf, south of Leipzig, Germany.
The HyKero plant is planned to produce 50,000 metric tons of sustainable aviation fuel per year when fully operational, including eSAF from a power-to-liquids (PtL) route, and would be the first plant of its kind at commercial scale in Germany. The PtL route is the conversion of renewable electricity and carbon dioxide into sustainable liquid fuels, the companies said.
When fully operational, the HyKero plant is also planned to produce 14,000 metric tons of sustainable naphtha, and approximately 1,000 metric tons of green hydrogen per year.
Strategically located to serve Leipzig-Halle international airport, this first phase of the plant is planned to be online by 2027, the firms added.
