About us
Let's take on the biggest challenge of our lifetime
We rise to preserve our climate and make aviation sustainable
Norsk e-Fuel was founded in 2019 to drive the transition to renewable aviation by establishing industrial production of sustainable fuels based on CO2 and water.
Aviation is one of the most challenging industries where to reduce emissions, yet it has been the fastest growing transportation sector in recent years.
Together with our owners and carefully selected partners, Norsk e-Fuel will bring Power-to-Liquid production to industrial scale. As a project developer, we are building large-scale production facilities to supply synthetic fuels to the aviation industry. We are determined to develop a new value chain for sustainable fuels, leaving fossil fuels in the ground and allowing you to take off with a clear conscience!
