Fjord PtX, a pioneering sustainable energy project based in Aalborg and owned by CIP’s Energy Transition Fund, has announced a strategic partnership with SAS – Scandinavian Airlines, Copenhagen Airports A/S, and Aalborg Airport. This collaboration aims to promote the production and use of sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) in Denmark, aligning with the nation’s decarbonization goals for domestic aviation and the broader ReFuelEU Aviation directive.

Fjord PtX will produce 75,000 tons of eSAF annually equivalent to three times Denmark's current domestic flight fuel consumption. By doing so, Fjord PtX positions itself as a significant contributor to the Danish and European aviation industry's transition to sustainability, while also creating local employment opportunities within the green energy sector.

“This partnership marks a significant milestone in our three-year development journey,” said Søren Toftgaard, Partner at CIP, during the signing event at Copenhagen Airport. “Collaborating with key players in Danish aviation strengthens our ability to meet ambitious climate targets. However, achieving these goals will require strong governmental and regulatory support. With the right frameworks in place, Fjord PtX can become a cornerstone of Denmark’s sustainable future.”

The agreement was formalized by representatives from each partner organization: CIP’s Søren Toftgaard, SAS SVP Mads Brandstrup Nielsen, Copenhagen Airport Chief Sustainability Officer Maria Skotte, and Aalborg Airport CEO Niels Hemmingsen.

The initiative has also garnered support from several organizations, including Brintbranchen, Green Power Denmark, Danish Industry, Nordværk, and Aalborg Forsyning, emphasizing the collective commitment to driving Denmark's green transition.
