Alby ropes in Ramboll as technical consultant for Swedish eSAF site

Alby PtX announced that it has engaged engineering company Ramboll as the owner’s technical consultant for the planned synthetic sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) project in Alby, Sweden.

The move marks a step forward for the Alby project as it moves from development to implementation planning. As the consultant, Ramboll will support the project by advancing the plant’s technical concept and preparing it for the next stage of engineering and later construction.

“The appointment of Ramboll as Owner’s Technical Consultant represents an important step in the development of the Alby PtX project,” said Karl Hauptmeier, CEO of Norsk e-Fuel. “With Ramboll’s experience in large-scale energy infrastructure in the Nordics, the project gains valuable technical assurance as it moves towards implementation and eventually financial close.”

Alby PtX AB is a joint venture between Norsk e-Fuel and Prime Capital with support from RES – leading private renewable energy company.

Ramboll will ensure technical integration, design development, and project planning for the facility is done in line with the technical, environmental and regulatory standards.

It will also advise Alby PtX on project coordination and management systems to help maintain quality, schedule and risk control throughout development. This engagement provides independent technical assurance and helps prepare the project for bankability and long-term investment readiness.

“We are proud to support Alby PtX in developing one of Sweden’s pioneering e-Fuel projects,” said Anders Nimgaard Schultz, director for Power-to-X and Gas Infrastructure at Ramboll. “As Owner’s Technical Consultant, our role is to ensure that the project is developed on a robust and optimal technical foundation, contributing to Sweden’s broader energy transition goals.”
