COWI and Swedish Biofuels to build three SAF production facilities

Type of post: NEWS IN BRIEF.

Swedish Biofuels and COWI have partnered up to supply the Swedish market with 400,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from three facilities. Swedish Biofuels technology is based on the 'alcohol-to-jet' (ATJ) pathway.

Backed by the European Commission, the first factory will be built in Brista, close to Arlanda Airport. The first supply of sustainable aviation fuel is scheduled for 2025. The facility will also produce sustainable diesel and petrol.The process uses sustainable green ethanol as a feedstock. As part of the partnership, COWI and Arkitema will contribute planning, architectural design and client consultancy as well as design during the construction phase. The production will result in excess heat, which will be routed to Stockholm Exergi's adjoining CHP plant. In this way, the excess heat will be a green contribution to the Stockholm district heating system. 

In addition to the Brista factory, the plan is to build two more production facilities in Sweden, amounting to an annual combined production capacity of 400,000 tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel. That corresponds to around 40% of Arlanda's annual aviation fuel consumption.
