Moeve has joined forces with other member companies of the Global Impact Coalition (GIC) to advance a new methanol-based pathway to electro-Sustainable Aviation Fuel (e-SAF) and low-carbon chemicals in Europe. Starting with a feasibility study, the companies have formalized a dedicated spin-off structure to accelerate the development of this innovative route based on Methanol-to-Olefins (MTO) technology — a sustainable alternative to conventional fossil-based production routes.

For Moeve, this initiative represents a strategic step forward in developing a differentiated route to e-SAF, distinct from the Fischer-Tropsch pathway. The process enables to convert e-methanol into e-SAF through the production of sustainable olefins. This pathway offers synergies such as economy of scale and a flexible approach to scaling low-carbon aviation fuels, a crucial need given that aviation contributes approximately 3% of total greenhouse gas emissions globally. Advancing such alternatives is essential to decarbonizing one of the hardest-to-abate sectors.
