RES, Norsk e-Fuel and Prime Capital have announced a collaboration to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in North Sweden.
Located in the municipality of Ånge, “Project Alby” is planned to produce a minimum of 80,0000 tons of e-Fuel annually and marks Norsk e-Fuel’s expansion into Sweden. Under the lead of Norsk e-Fuel and Prime Capital, the companies will now mature the pre-developed site together.
Norsk e-Fuel, a leading Norwegian project development company specialising in e-Fuels, had previously announced a collaboration with Prime Capital to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Sweden. Supported by the world’s largest independent renewable energy company RES, the companies will develop “Project Alby,” an industrial-scale e-Fuel plant that will play a vital role in reducing the emissions of the European aviation sector.
Matilda Afzelius, CEO of RES in the Nordics, said: “Norsk e-Fuel joining the Alby project is fantastic news. Their expertise in e-SAF production, combined with Prime Capital’s strategic capabilities and RES’ 40+ years of renewable energy experience, provides a strong foundation for the next development phase. At RES, our vision is to create a future where everyone has access to affordable, zero-carbon energy. This partnership strengthens our ability to drive the green transition forward, and we are excited to do so alongside the best in the industry. The Alby project’s potential to deliver up to 80,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel annually is not only a major step for the green energy market but also a significant milestone for Ånge municipality.”
“We are excited to join forces with Norsk e-Fuel on this transformative project to produce SAF in Sweden. This collaboration brings together Norsk e-Fuel’s cutting-edge advancements in synthetic SAF development as well as RES exceptional capacities in delivering projects with Prime Capital’s extensive experience in renewable energy infrastructure and power-to-x project development. This partnership is a key step in reducing aviation emissions and accelerating Sweden’s transition to a more sustainable future,” said Jens Walzner, Managing Director of Prime Capital.
The news follows European aviation groups urging the EU to speed up the continent’s SAF roadmap, with demand beginning to outstrip local supply.
