Hitachi Energy and Arcadia eFuels have entered into a partnership to develop the electrical infrastructure for Arcadia eFuels’ upcoming sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) production facility in Vordingborg, Denmark. This facility is set to be one of the world’s first large-scale e-SAF production plants, operating entirely on renewable electricity to reduce emissions in the aviation industry. The plant will feature a 240 MW on-site green hydrogen production system using water electrolysis, showcasing a significant step towards a more sustainable future for air travel.
Hitachi Energy will be responsible for delivering the grid connection and battery energy storage system (BESS) necessary for the facility to operate efficiently and reliably. The company will also oversee the complete electrical system engineering, procurement, installation, and commissioning work, ensuring a stable and efficient operation. This collaboration will enable the production of approximately 80,000 tons per year of eFuels, including eSAF, which is estimated to avoid around 260,000 tons per year of CO2 emissions.
According to Amy Hebert, CEO of Arcadia eFuels, Hitachi Energy is the ideal partner for this project, given their expertise in system integration and experience in delivering technology, grid connection, and power conversion solutions. By combining their strengths, both companies aim to achieve project success and make a significant impact on reducing emissions in the aviation sector.
The partnership between Hitachi Energy and Arcadia eFuels marks a crucial step towards a more sustainable aviation industry. With the increasing focus on reducing carbon emissions, the development of e-SAF production facilities like the one in Vordingborg, Denmark, is essential for creating a more environmentally friendly future for air travel. The collaboration between these two companies demonstrates their commitment to innovation and sustainability, paving the way for a cleaner and more efficient aviation industry.
