Carbon-to-value company OXCCU has launched OX1, the world’s first plant dedicated to producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at Oxford Airport, UK.
Stemming from over a decade of research at the University of Oxford, the OX1 plant uses a novel catalyst and reactor design to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen directly into long-chain hydrocarbons in a single step, a process that traditionally involves multiple stages.
The project aims to reduce the cost of Power-to-Liquid (PtL) SAF production, a critical barrier to widespread adoption.
Set to commence operations in September 2024, the OX1 plant will produce around 1.2 litres of liquid fuel per day.
