Advario and Power2X listened, and have partnered to develop a world-scale production and storage hub for synthetic sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) and other synthetic, ultra-low carbon fuels at the Port of Rotterdam, Netherlands. The facility will have the capacity to produce over 250,000 tonnes per year of e-SAF, a non-fossil, synthetic fuel made from green hydrogen.
