Siemens and Caphenia are collaborating to scale the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) derived from renewable feedstocks. Siemens, as the preferred automation and digitalization partner, will support Caphenia's plasma technology, which converts biomethane into synthesis gas at high temperatures.

Caphenia's Plasma Boudouard Reactor (PBR) integrates three chemical reactions into one system, producing SAF with no by-products. The partnership aims to establish a standardised automation template for SAF production, enhancing process efficiency and reducing commissioning time. Siemens will utilize its Xcelerator portfolio to optimize operational parameters and support Caphenia's scale-up from a pilot plant in Höchst, Germany.
