Denmark-based energy technology company Topsoe and global chemicals specialist Sasol have signed a cooperation agreement with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and Griesemann Gruppe to build and operate a new e-fuels demonstration plant at the Leuna Chemical Complex in Germany.
Supported by €130m in funding from the German Federal Ministry for Transport, the facility – known as the Technology Platform Power-to-Liquid Fuels (TPP) – is slated to be the largest of its kind when it begins production in late 2027.
The plant, which has been under construction since 1 October 2024, is expected to produce around 2,500 tonnes of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) per year using biogenic CO2 and green hydrogen. It aims to accelerate the commercial rollout of power-to-liquid technologies by bridging the gap between research and large-scale industrial production.
