SAF Production in Denmark

Fjord PtX is an eFuel plant under development, deploying industrial use of electrolysis technology at the megawatt scale. Power-to-X (PtX) is a ‘next generation’ renewable and storage technology, marking a new chapter in the decarbonization of aviation. The plant will rely on electricity from renewable energy sources. The result of this CO2-free production process is green hydrogen, and ultimately the end-product SAF. 

90,000 tons of SAF

Fjord PtX will use renewable resources to produce approximately 90,000 tons of SAF annually, which is enough to supply the total annual fuel consumption for domestic flights in Denmark. The plant will operate flexibly, adapting to the volatility of the power production from renewables, and consuming up to 400 MW of electricity at peak power production.

 

Flexible Production


The flexible operation of Fjord PtX will ensure an efficient use of the electricity fed into the Danish energy system from renewable energy sources. Furthermore, the process heat from the production of hydrogen and SAF will be used for the district heating of 11,000 households in the Aalborg area by the local utility company, Aalborg Forsyning.

Denmark's largest SAF plant

With a billion-euro capital investment, Fjord PtX becomes one of the leading PtX plants in Denmark. The project will be among the first megawatt-scale PtX plants in Europe, contributing to the goal of carbon neutrality in 2050. With commissioning in 2028, the plant is expected to be ready for operation by the end of 2028.

  • Billion-euro investment

  • The location of the plant is right next to Aalborg Forsyning and close to the Port of Aalborg

  • The facility is expected to fill approximately 20 ha, corresponding to 26 football pitches

  • Construction and commissioning from 2025

  • Expected to enter full operation at the end of 2028

  • 50-100 permanent jobs
