Técnicas Reunidas wins FEED for Alby PtX e‑SAF plant in Sweden
- Plant designed to produce about 66,000 tonnes of sustainable synthetic aviation fuel (e‑SAF) per year.
- Process is Power‑to‑Liquid using renewable electricity, water and captured CO2 with green hydrogen from electrolysis.
- FEED contract may evolve into an EPC contract to build, commission and start up the plant once Alby PtX reaches FID.
- Process scope includes eRWGS, Fischer‑Tropsch synthesis, hydrocarbon enrichment, treatment units and a naphtha recycling system to maximise carbon use.
Project scope
Técnicas Reunidas has been awarded the front‑end engineering design (FEED) contract for an industrial Power‑to‑Liquid e‑SAF plant to be built in Alby (Ånge municipality), Sweden. The plant is designed to produce approximately 66,000 tonnes of sustainable synthetic aviation fuel per year from renewable electricity, water and captured carbon dioxide.
Process and technologies
The FEED covers engineering integration of the full production chain: green hydrogen via electrolysis, reverse water‑gas shift (eRWGS), Fischer‑Tropsch synthesis, hydrocarbon enrichment and associated treatment units. A naphtha recycling system is included to maximise carbon utilisation and process efficiency. Pre‑engineering work incorporates proprietary technologies supplied by leading licensors.
Contract model and next steps
The current FEED is intended as the step preceding an EPC contract; Técnicas Reunidas could undertake engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and start‑up after the project developer Alby PtX takes a positive final investment decision (FID).
Strategic importance
This award is Técnicas Reunidas’ first contract in Sweden and aligns with its SALTA Strategic Plan to grow engineering and project management revenues, contributing to a near‑term pipeline of about €400 million in similar contracts and a target of €500 million by 2028.
