This is to anticipate the regulations which will force airlines to use a minimum of synthetic fuel, in 2030. The objective is to exploit the biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) produced at the Rayonier Advanced Materials factory ( RYAM) from Tartas, by combining it with green hydrogen to produce synthetic fuel: an essential product to combat the increase in greenhouse gas emissions around the world, thanks to the capture and use carbon dioxide (CCU).
« The combination of the unique attributes of the Tartas plant and Verso Energy's expertise in renewable energy development creates an excellent opportunity for potential production of new sustainable fuels at the site » said Mr. De Lyle Bloomquist, President and CEO of RYAM.
« By studying the use of RYAM's significant biogenic CO2 resources, combined with Verso Energy's ability to develop green hydrogen and synthetic fuel production projects on an industrial scale, we are laying a solid foundation to meet the challenge of reducing the carbon footprint of the hardest-to-decarbonize sectors, such as aviation – an industry that faces ambitious and binding decarbonization targets from 2030 » added Antoine Huard, general manager of Verso Energy.
