The world’s first e-kerosene plant opens in Germany
German non-profit atmosfair recently opened the world’s first industrial manufacturing plant for synthetic kerosene. A carbon-neutral alternative to jet fuel, the first production runs of the kerosene are for Lufthansa, with atmosfair planning to scale production as quickly as possible to begin supplying other airlines.
The kerosene is made from hydrogen and carbon dioxide, with the hydrogen created from local renewable energy sources. Much of the carbon dioxide used in the kerosene will be captured from the air, thereby balancing out the emissions of the production processes and creating a carbon-neutral fuel. Located in Werlte, Germany, the plant will produce up to eight barrels per day in 2022.
