SeaO₂ and Partners Receive €1.64M to Develop Decentralized e-SAFs✈️ 💧
We’re thrilled to announce that SeaO₂, together with TU Delft, University of Twente, and NERA, has secured €1.64 million in funding from the TKI Energy and Industry program. The project aims to develop a decentralized and fully integrated process for producing sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) using seawater, renewable electricity, and captured CO₂. By bringing together expertise in CO₂ capture, electrochemical conversion, and advanced catalysis, we’re working toward a new generation of e-fuels that can be produced locally, flexibly, and without reliance on biomass or fossil inputs.
The project is structured around four key areas:
Design & Feasibility: Defining the system requirements, use case, and technical criteria for a viable water-to-e-SAF pathway.
CO₂ & Water Capture: Advancing SeaO₂’s electrochemical technology to efficiently extract CO₂ from seawater and ultrapure water for hydrogen production.
CO₂ Conversion: Turning captured CO₂ into alcohols and olefins—the key building blocks of sustainable aviation fuel, using innovative reactor designs and catalysts.
Techno-Economic Analysis: Evaluating the integrated process and benchmarking it against conventional kerosene to assess cost-effectiveness and scalability.
Stay tuned for progress updates as we build toward a decentralized, scalable, and sustainable future for aviation!
