- The eFuels Rotterdam facility will produce over 250,000 tonnes/year of e-SAF.
- The project uses green methanol from green hydrogen and biogenic carbon.
- Worley will provide early engineering services and project management.
- The facility aims to start around the turn of the decade, contributing 40% of Europe's e-SAF needs.
Project Overview
Power2X has engaged Worley to provide engineering and project management services for its eFuels Rotterdam project. This facility will focus on producing sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) and ultra-low carbon fuels, utilizing green methanol derived from green hydrogen and biogenic carbon as feedstock. The plant is expected to produce over 250,000 tonnes of e-SAF annually.
Engineering and Execution
Worley will deliver early engineering services, including a Class III estimate, to support the preliminary design phase. The collaboration aims to establish a solid project baseline, mitigate technical and commercial risks, and enhance CAPEX certainty. Worley and Power2X will work together to define the best execution approach for the FEED and Execute phases, ensuring a robust project schedule.
Environmental Impact
Sustainable aviation fuel is crucial for reducing CO2 emissions, offering a 90% reduction in lifecycle carbon emissions compared to conventional jet fuel. The eFuels Rotterdam hub is set to contribute 40% of the required e-SAF volume in Europe, aligning with the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation, which mandates increased SAF use from 2030 onwards.
Timeline and Goals
The eFuels Rotterdam facility is expected to commence operations around the turn of the decade. By contributing significantly to Europe's e-SAF needs, the project plays a vital role in the region's energy transition and decarbonization efforts in the aviation industry.
