OXCCU’s hydrogen-based SAF process promises to ‘lower capital costs by 50%’

OXCCU’s hydrogen-based sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production process can reportedly lower capital costs by 50% compared to traditional methods.

Furthermore, the UK-based start-up has stated in a report that the SAF production costs are reduced by 25% per tonne compared to Reverse Water Gas Shift Fischer-Tropsch (RWGA+FT) when using OXCCU’s CO2 Fischer-Tropsch (CO2 F-T) process.

The University of Oxford spin-out uses its iron-based F-T catalyst to produce SAFs, marketed under the brand OXEFUEL, by converting CO2 and green hydrogen into jet fuel in a single exothermic step, to streamline stages and reduce hydrogen needs, therefore cutting costs.
