Carbon Neutral Fuels (CNF) develops and commercializes carbon‑neutral synthetic fuels (e‑fuels). The company focuses on producing drop‑in liquid hydrocarbons by combining renewable energy with captured carbon, offering low‑carbon alternatives to conventional fossil fuels.
CNF’s activities span project development, process integration, and partnerships across the e‑fuels value chain, with an emphasis on power‑to‑liquids pathways that can serve energy and chemical markets. Its projects target hard‑to‑abate uses in transport and industry, aiming to reduce lifecycle emissions while leveraging existing refining and distribution infrastructure.

Targeting: Sustainable Aviation Fuel (2)
Explore SAF production from sugarcane agricultural waste, evaluating feedstock, site, pathway and offtake to support Australia’s fuel security and upcoming SAF mandate.
Project moves into formal pre‑planning; planned output raised to ~31,000 tpa SAF, 100–150 skilled jobs expected, building on prior £6m government backing.
FEL3A completed for UK eSAF project: integrated design and 3D model, Class 3 cost estimate. Targets 25,000 tpa by 2031 with ~95% lifecycle GHG reduction; DAC integrated.
Project Starling will convert CO2 and water into sustainable aviation fuel, aiming for 25,000 tons annually by 2031, using advanced technologies for significant emissions savings.
The SAF Mandate should exclude crop-based fuels to ensure policy integrity, investor confidence, and focus on scalable, sustainable fuel pathways for long-term emissions reduction.
The partnership aims to scale sustainable aviation fuel, leveraging biogenic CO₂ and infrastructure to meet UK SAF mandates and support long-term decarbonization.
Project Starling in the UK will use SOEC technology to produce 25,000 tons of e-SAF annually, aiming for an 89% emissions reduction. Construction starts in 2028, operations by 2031.
Topsoe's SOEC tech will power a 120MW e-SAF plant in the UK, producing 25,000 tons annually by 2031, pending investment. It's the UK's largest e-fuels project under the Advanced Fuels Fund.
