Arcadia eFuels announced Oct. 21 that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Atoba Energy to supply neat synthetic sustainable aviation fuel, commonly referred to as eSAF.
The agreement outlines that Atoba would procure up to 150,000 metric tons of eSAF from each Arcadia eFuels project over 10 years.
In contrast to conventional fossil jet fuels, eSAF is a synthetic aviation fuel produced from renewable electricity, water and captured CO2 anticipated to cut lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions by more than 90 percent.
The volume of eSAF under this agreement would therefore eliminate at least 400,000 tons of CO2 per site.
“At Arcadia eFuels, we are committed to delivering practical, scalable solutions that help decarbonize aviation,” said Arcadia eFuels CEO Amy Hebert. “Atoba Energy plays a pivotal role as an aggregator and market enabler to bring scale to the eSAF industry, connecting us with airlines seeking reliable volumes of sustainable fuel at long term competitive pricing. By working together with Atoba across multiple projects as a step toward firm offtake, we are taking the necessary steps to make low-carbon air travel a reality and to support the industry’s long-term climate goals.”
Arnaud Namer, CEO at Atoba Energy, added, “Arcadia eFuels is bringing one of the most advanced eFuel projects in Europe to market. By adding Arcadia to our aggregation platform, we can offer airlines access to credible, scalable volumes of eSAF with price competitiveness while providing Arcadia the long-term commitments they need to move forward to final-investment decision. This partnership underlines Atoba’s strategy of securing reliable supply sources that accelerate the transition to net-zero aviation.”
According to Arcadia eFuels, this agreement shows that long-term commitments from buyers like Atoba are an essential piece to scale up eSAF production.
