Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) are a well-known energy transition solution for their climate benefits such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But they also offer something equally important: the ability to produce fuel from locally available materials. This allows Europe to reduce its reliance on imported fossil fuels while building a stable, domestic and sustainable energy supply for hard to abate sectors like aviation. In the Nordics, abundant availability of fossil-free electricity, water, and captured CO₂, allow for the production of a type of SAF called e-Fuel.

Building on the strategic partnership launched in 2025, Norsk e-Fuel and Boeing are starting a joint program to test how e-Fuels perform in real-world operations. Through significant and targeted investment, the collaboration will generate practical data on performance, operational benefits, and supply requirements helping inform aviation.
