About us
Let's take on the biggest challenge of our lifetime
We rise to preserve our climate and make aviation sustainable
Founded in 2019, Norsk e-Fuel was created to accelerate the transition to sustainable aviation by enabling industrial-scale production of synthetic fuels made from CO₂ and water. Aviation is one of the most challenging sectors to move away from fossil fuels, yet it has also been the fastest-growing mode of transport in recent years. Together with our owners and carefully selected partners, we are bringing Power-to-Liquid technology into commercial operation. As a project developer, we build large-scale production facilities to supply synthetic fuels to the aviation industry, strengthening energy resilience, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and making it easier for you to fly with a better conscience.
