22.06.2023 14:00Holcim, EDF, IFPEN and AXENS to convert CO2 into synthetic aviation fuel, with support of Air France-KLM
Holcim, EDF, IFPEN ("Institut Français du Pétrole et des Energies Nouvelles") and Axens are joining forces to develop e-kerosene that will contribute to decarbonize France’s aviation industry. Holcim will join “Take Kair” project with its cement plant in Saint-Pierre-La-Cour, where it will capture biogenic CO2; IPFEN and its affiliate Axens will provide the technology for the synthesis; EDF will turn the CO2 into e-kerosene, a synthetic sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF). As a partner, Air France-KLM will be the main buyer of the e-kerosene produced by this new industrial activity.
