Two years of plant DAWN: proving synthetic fuel production at industrial scale
Synhelion’s demonstration plant DAWN has been in operation for two years. It proves that our technology works at industrial scale and has generated invaluable operational experience, laying the groundwork for the next scale-up steps. Discover what we have achieved and learned from operating a first-of-its-kind synthetic fuel plant.
Synhelion selected for German funding to build commercial synthetic fuel plant
Synhelion has been selected for funding under the “Produktives.NRW” program of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), supporting the construction of a commercial demonstration plant for renewable synthetic fuels at Brainergy Park in Jülich, Germany.
Synhelion fuels first construction machine with renewable diesel
Synhelion has fueled an excavator operated by Swiss construction company Eberhard Bau AG with renewable diesel for the first time. The deployment at the Brüttener Tunnel construction site near Bassersdorf (Zurich) demonstrates that synthetic fuels perform reliably even under demanding conditions.
Synhelion’s affordable synthetic fuel technology platform offers energy security and resilience
Disruptions in global fossil fuel supply chains have made it clear that energy independence is a strategic necessity. Beyond climate benefits, Synhelion’s technology is a real solution to strengthen energy security. Our synthetic drop-in fuels can be produced locally where they are needed, reaching production costs below EUR 1’000 per ton at scale.
Producing synthetic fuels at fossil fuel prices: a game changer for a resilient and sustainable energy supply
A third-party validated cost analysis confirms that Synhelion can produce renewable synthetic fuels for less than EUR 0.8 per liter at scale. Combining the use of low-cost renewable energy, a scalable feedstock, efficient 24/7 operation, and industrial scalability, Synhelion’s technology can help build a resilient and secure energy supply.
Eberhard buys solar diesel from Synhelion
Swiss construction company Eberhard Bau AG has signed a long-term offtake agreement for solar diesel with cleantech company Synhelion. Starting in 2027, Eberhard will purchase renewable diesel to reduce the CO₂ emissions of its construction machinery.
Book-and-claim explained: How it works and why it matters
Book-and-claim mechanisms are based on a simple idea: separating the environmental attribute of a renewable product from its physical delivery. In the case of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), this means that customers pay for the verified climate benefit of SAF while the physical fuel is produced and used where it makes the most sense.
SWISS signs long-term offtake agreement for solar jet fuel from Synhelion
Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) and Swiss cleantech company Synhelion have signed a long-term offtake agreement for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). From 2027, SWISS will purchase at least 200 tons of solar jet fuel from Synhelion annually. The agreement marks an important milestone on the road to more sustainable aviation.
