Metafuels and Evos accelerate eSAF development in Rotterdam

Swiss aviation technology company Metafuels AG is to open a new synthetic sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) production plant in the Port of Rotterdam.
Metafuels and Evos Rotterdam are working together to take the next steps to progress the development of the project.
Evos is a leading liquid energy and chemicals storage company in Europe committed to supporting innovative energy solutions.
This project builds on Metafuels’ expanding European footprint, following the 2024 announcement of Pizol – its planned production facility in Denmark.
The Rotterdam plant, named Turbe, will initially produce 12,000 litres of e-SAF per day, with plans for a second phase to increase production tenfold to 120,000 litres per day.
The Evos Rotterdam terminal is a dedicated multimodal methanol hub and the largest ethanol storage provider in Europe.
It offers full connectivity across vessel, barge, truck, and rail, with facilities to store renewable methanol that meets International Methanol Producers and Consumers Association (IMPCA) specifications.
As a promising alternative to fossil fuels, renewable methanol plays a critical role in sectors where decarbonisation is challenging, serving as a clean bunker fuel in marine transport and as an intermediate product in sustainable aviation fuel production, particularly within innovative e-SAF pathways.
