In a significant move towards sustainability, Moeve has joined forces with other industry players within the Global Impact Coalition (GIC) to pioneer a methanol-based pathway for the production of electro-sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) and low-carbon chemicals. This initiative is part of an ongoing feasibility study that has led to the establishment of a new spin-off structure aimed at accelerating the development of this innovative process, which leverages methanol to olefins (MTO) technology.

This method stands as a promising alternative to conventional fossil fuel-based production techniques, thereby offering a differentiated route for generating synthetically sourced sustainable aviation fuels, distinct from the traditional Fischer-Tropsch process. By converting renewable methanol into eSAF through the production of sustainable olefins, Moeve is not only facilitating the future of aviation fuel but also contributing to the broader transformation of the chemical industry with cleaner feedstocks.

Carlos Barrasa, Executive Vice President of Commercial Clean Energies at Moeve, emphasized that this initiative marks a strategic breakthrough in developing low-carbon value chains. "By promoting sustainable methanol-based pathways, we are enabling the future production of eSAFs while supporting the chemical sector's shift towards sustainability," he stated. The collaboration within the Global Impact Coalition provides the necessary collaborative framework and vision to drive these groundbreaking innovations at scale, positioning Moeve at the forefront of the low-carbon revolution.
