Join the TAKE-OFF Final Conference on the 11th of December 2024 at the Royal Library of Belgium (KBR) in Brussels, where we will explore the final results and future prospects of the TAKE-OFF project and synthetic Sustainable Aviation Fuels (eSAF) production.
To reduce GHG emissions in the aviation sector, the European Commission has set, through the RefuelEU Aviation Regulation, binding targets for the supply of synthetic SAF in aviation. It is therefore crucial that the technologies for the production of such fuels are scaled up at an accelerated pace to provide the necessary volumes.
The TAKE-OFF project has pioneered an innovative process to convert CO₂ and renewable hydrogen into eSAF using olefins as intermediates. This unique technology offers a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution compared to other power-to-liquid alternatives. By capturing CO₂ from industrial sources or through Direct Air Capture and combining it with renewable hydrogen, the project demonstrates the successful conversion of CO₂ into light olefins, which are then upgraded into eSAF.
The conference will present the most innovative outcomes of the TAKE-OFF project from a technical viewpoint while highlighting the crucial role of standardisation and certification of eSAF for the future of aviation and the importance of a supportive policy framework for the deployment of eSAF in the aviation fuel mix.
Furthermore, the TAKE-OFF final conference will highlight the advancements of key EU-funded projects focused on developing and commercialising eSAF and foster dialogue between policymakers, fuel producers, and airlines to ensure a smooth and efficient rollout of eSAF across Europe.
This event will be of great interest to aviation professionals, policymakers, and sustainability advocates eager to learn how eSAF is key to a sustainable, safe, and economically viable future for aviation.
Have a look at the draft agenda and register here by the 4th of December at the latest.

CO2 Value Europe, as SUNER-C consortium partner and SUNERGY supporter, is proudly part of the TAKE-OFF consortium as WP6 leader in communication and dissemination. The project plans to develop a next-generation Power-to-SAF process which converts renewable hydrogen and captured CO2 to a class of hydrocarbons called light olefins, such as ethylene and propylene, which then need to be subsequently converted into the final jet fuel through further reactions.
