California-based Captura, which specializes in direct ocean capture (DOC) technology, has been selected to supply the carbon dioxide (CO2) feedstock for a new facility at the Port of Port-La-Nouvelle in southern France, to be developed by a Franco-Canadian consortium led by SAF+ International Group.

Annual production is projected at 75,000 tonnes of electro-sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF), produced by combining green hydrogen with CO2 captured directly from the ocean.

The fuel would carry a roughly 90% reduction in emissions compared with conventional kerosene, and would be compatible with existing aircraft under ASTM D7566 and FT-SPK certification standards, according to SAF+ International Group and Captura.
