Worley awarded contract for Power2X SAF site in Rotterdam

Green molecules company Power2X announced that it has contracted energy, chemicals and resources professional services company Worley to provide engineering and project management services for its eFuels Rotterdam project.

“Building a competitive, future-proof low-carbon energy system requires ambitious projects like eFuels Rotterdam”, said Occo Roelofsen, CEO of Power2X.

The planned facility will use green methanol produced from green hydrogen and biogenic carbon as feedstock and have the capacity to produce over 250,000 tonnes/year of e-SAF.

“Our relationship with Power2X is based on trust and the common belief that Power-to-X projects are only technically and economically viable when all stakeholders work together towards the same goal: an efficient project development and execution that mitigates risks and provides the CAPEX and LCoX certainty to achieve a positive financial investment decision”, said Jelle Nederstigt, president Europe & Central Asia at Worley.

“We are committed to continue to support Power2X to make this eSAF project a reality, contributing to the decarbonization of the aviation industry in Europe and beyond.”

As per the contract, Worley will provide early engineering services, including a Class III estimate.

Worley will also work with Power2X to define the approach for the FEED and execute phases of the project. The move will help Power2X create the baseline of the project, mitigate technical and commercial risks, increase CAPEX certainty and develop a solid project schedule.

Earlier in the first week of January, Power2X announced a partnership with Honeywell to implement UOP’s eFiningTM methanol-to-jet processing technology in Power2X’s eFuels Rotterdam project.
