Maire announces that Nextchem, through its subsidiary NextChem Tech, has signed a contract with PaulWurth, a Sms group company, and Norsk e-Fuel for a licensing and engineering package relating to its NX CPO technology to be used in the first industrial-scale plant capable of producing Saf from green hydrogen and carbon dioxide in Mosjen, Norway.
It will be the first plant developed by Norway's Norsk e-Fuel.
NextChem Tech will apply its proprietary technology NX CPO1, a process to produce synthesis gas through controlled partial oxidation, through a very fast reaction, "a versatile technology - we read in a note - which contributes to improving the carbon recovery performance".
The first plant developed by Norske-Fuel will have a production capacity of 40,000 tonnes per year of synthetic fuels and will be operational after 2026. Based on the initial project, the construction of two more plants with a capacity of approximately 80,000 tonnes per year each by 2030 is planned. The aim is to reduce current flight emissions by exploiting the use of cutting-edge technologies to produce synthetic aviation fuels.
"We are proud to be part of this innovative technological initiative with the SMS group and Norske-Fuel, aimed at industrializing the production of Saf in Norway", said Alessandro Bernini, CEO of Maire.
“Our collaboration with NextChem Tech is another step towards improving the carbon efficiency of our manufacturing processes while reducing costs,” said Karl Hauptmeier, CEO of Norsk e-Fuel.
“This collaboration enables Nork e-Fuel to improve process efficiency and competitiveness in the synthetic fuel market” Paul Tockert, Executive Vice President of SMS Metallurgy Group.
