The FrontFuel demonstration

The FrontFuel demonstration
The FrontFuel demonstration project has established an integrated, end-toend production pathway for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) based on industrially sourced biogenic carbon. At the Aarhus University Power-to-X site at Viborg in Foulum, Denmark, the project has connected the full process chain from biogas and biogenic CO₂ through syngas and syncrude to aviationfuel- range final products. The core achievements are the integration of SOEC hydrogen production, eREACT™-based syngas manufacturing, Sasol LTFT™ based Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis, and downstream upgrading, as well as the demonstration that biogenic carbon can be converted through a continuous, connected process chain into aviationfuel- relevant hydrocarbons. FrontFuel has progressed from concept validation and component readiness to a true end-to-end process demonstration. The process is summarized in Figure 1. The carbon sources are both sustainable and industrially relevant: • Biogas derived from agricultural biomass resources such as manure and straw • Biogenic CO₂ captured as a byproduct from fermentation. FrontFuel is not only a study of possible process routes....
