About eFuels - Arcadia eFuels

What makes eFuels great?

Captured carbon is converted into fuel with >99% efficiency
No feedstock limitations
No new fuel distribution infrastructure or engine re-design needed for use
Economics free from the price of oil

Recycling Captured Carbon Dioxide

Firstly, CO₂ is captured directly from the atmosphere or from an industrial or biogenic source.

Green Hydrogen Production

Concurrently, renewable electricity is used to produce green hydrogen through a process called electrolysis. Electrolysis splits water into hydrogen and oxygen.

eFuels Production and Further Processing

The green hydrogen is combined with the captured CO₂ to produce syngas. Further processing produces carbon neutral eFuels fuels such as sustainable aviation fuel for air transport, eDiesel, eNaptha, and LPG.

End Use by Existing Infrastructure

The carbon-neutral eFuel can be used by existing cars, trucks, ships, and airplanes as a complete replacement for its fossil fuel. The carbon release from use is the same carbon dioxide which was initially captured and will be recaptured: a carbon recycling system powered by green energy.

Proven Production Technology to Outpace Market Demand

eFuels can use existing fuels infrastructure and are therefore easy to implement globally. eDiesel and eSAF fuels can be used directly or blended to allow for use in traditional engines

Our eDiesel meets ASTM D975 (also the European standard for synthetic diesel EN15940); and can be used as a drop-in replacement

Our eSAF (kerosene) complies with the internationally accepted standard ASTM D7566, FT-SPK (Synthesized Paraffinic Kerosene) and can be blended 50% into fossil jet fuel.

eFuels Demand Grows with Directives to Decarbonize Aviation

The global aviation fuel market was estimated at over $238 billion USD in 2024 and continues to grow (Source: Global Market Insights, 2024).

In the EU, the ReFuelEU Aviation regulation is now in force, mandating the mix of sustainable fuels in the aviation industry. The regulation requires the use of 2% SAF in 2025, rising to 6% by 2030 (Source: EASA / European Commission). Crucially for the e-fuels sector, this includes a specific sub-mandate for synthetic fuels (eSAF) of 1.2% in 2030, which increases to 2% in 2032 and 5% by 2035 (Source: European Hydrogen Observatory).

The UK has also confirmed its own ambitious targets through the UK SAF Mandate, which requires 10% SAF by 2030. This includes a specific obligation for power-to-liquid (PtL) fuels starting in 2028 and reaching 0.5% of total jet fuel demand by 2030 (Source: GOV.UK).

In the U.S., the Department of Energy and Department of Transportation have established the SAF Grand Challenge, calling for the domestic production of at least 3 billion gallons of SAF per year by 2030 and 35 billion gallons by 2050 (Source: Department of Energy).

Collectively, these regulations and mandates—especially the specific sub-mandates for e-kerosene—provide a strong, dedicated legislative framework of support and demand for eSAF.

Denmark’s annual jet fuel consumption is approximately 1.2 billion liters (Source: Drivkraft Danmark, 2024). Arcadia eFuels’ plant in Vordingborg will produce ~100 million liters of eSAF Fuel/year.

eFuels Market is rapidly evolving

The market for eFuels is growing rapidly since consumers desire to purchase eFuels and other sustainable fuels in order to decarbonize their operations. In European Union a proposal for regulation is working its way through the legislative process that aims to mandate the use of sustainable aviation fuels and specifically eFuels (also called RFNBO, Renewable Fuel of Non Biological Origin) used in transportation. Additionally, governments around the world are also rolling out various mandates and targets for eFuels.

By one estimate, the eFuels Market will be a nearly US$50 billion industry by 2030, showing eFuels are the future of fuel and a key component in achieving net zero carbon.
