Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a low-carbon aviation fuel produced from renewable energy and CO₂/H₂ feedstocks, enabling direct replacement of conventional jet fuel. Within the Power-to-X framework, SAF is typically synthesized via electrolysis-based hydrogen production, CO₂ conversion, and syngas formation, followed by Fischer–Tropsch or other synthetic routes, converting electrical energy into high-energy-density aviation fuel.

From an engineering perspective, SAF production requires the coordinated operation of multi-stage reactions and complex process units, including hydrogen generation, carbon conversion, synthesis, and refining. EPC Energy focuses on the industrialization of SAF, integrating electrolysis, CO₂ conversion, and synthesis systems into a complete solution, enabling reliable, scalable, and efficient production from feedstock to fuel.

🟩CO₂ Capture and Purification — CO₂ is sourced from industrial flue gas, biogas tail gas, or direct air capture (DAC) and purified to ensure reaction stability.

🟦PEM/AEM Electrolyzer — Produces high-purity green hydrogen from renewable electricity.

⚗️Methanation Reactor — Converts CO₂ and H₂ to CH₄ at 300–400°C and 1–3 MPa, achieving >95% conversion.

💧Gas Purification and Conditioning — Methane is dried, impurities removed, and conditioned to pipeline standards.

⚙️Control and Heat Integration — Automated control, waste heat recovery, and safety monitoring enhance efficiency and operational stability.
