Norsk e-fuel partners with Prime Capital and RES to produce sustainable aviation fuel in Sweden

Norsk e-Fuel, Prime Capital and RES have announced a collaboration to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in North Sweden.
Located in the municipality of Ånge, Project Albyis planned to produce a minimum of 80,0000 tons of e-Fuel annually and marks Norsk e-fuel’s expansion into Sweden.
Under the lead of Norsk e-Fuel and Prime Capital, the companies will now mature the predeveloped site together.
Norsk e-Fuel, a leading Norwegian project development company specialising in e-fuels, has announced earlier a collaboration with Prime Capital to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Sweden.
Supported by the renewable energy company RES, the companies will develop Project Alby, an industrial-scale e-fuel plant that will play a vital role in reducing the emissions of the European aviation sector.
Located approximately 370 km north of Stockholm in the municipality of Ånge, Sweden, the project will benefit from low electricity prices due to extensive renewable energy available in the area. It is also Norsk e-Fuel's first project site in Sweden, furthering the company’s expansion across the Nordics, following previously announced projects in Norway and Finland.
“We are excited to join forces with Norsk e-fuel on this transformative project to produce SAF in Sweden. This collaboration brings together Norsk e-fuel’s cutting-edge advancements in synthetic SAF development as well as RES exceptional capacities in delivering projects with Prime Capital’s extensive experience in renewable energy infrastructure and power-to-x project development.
“This partnership is a key step in reducing aviation emissions and accelerating Sweden’s transition to a more sustainable future,” said Jens Walzner, managing director of Prime Capital.
The project will utilise the Power-to-Liquid process to convert water into hydrogen, which will then be combined with captured CO₂ to create e-Kerosene, a sustainable alternative to fossil-based aviation fuels.
“This project is a milestone for Norsk e-Fuel as we expand into Sweden and continue to lead the charge in providing fossil free fuels for the aviation industry,” said Karl Hauptmeier, CEO of Norsk e-Fuel.
“As part of our project portfolio, Project Alby not only exemplifies our commitment to reduce the CO₂ emissions but also our belief that teamwork is crucial for success. Working together with experienced partners such as Prime Capital and RES is an honor and makes me optimistic that we will succeed in our mission.”
The 14-hectare site in Ånge offers ample capacity for large-scale e-fuel production and strategic synergies with established industrial partners. The municipality is set to become one of Europe’s leading green hydrogen-driven industrial clusters, enhancing the project’s impact on renewable energy transition.
