For Arcadia eFuels’ eSAF facility in Vordingborg, the transport of liquid CO2 will be managed by Blue Water


Blue Water and Arcadia eFuels have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to create a CO2 logistics partnership for the transport of liquid CO2 for Arcadia eFuels’ upcoming production facility in Vordingborg, Denmark. The plant will use biogenic CO2 in the production of sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF), substantially contributing to emission reductions in the aviation industry.

The partnership will initially focus on delivering up to 300,000 tons of liquid CO2 per year, for an initial period of 10 years. As a key logistics partner, Blue Water will manage sea and road transport, as well as terminal handling to ensure the safe, reliable and efficient delivery of liquid CO2 from various CO2 capture sites across Northern Europe to the facility in Denmark.

“Blue Water is the perfect logistics partner for Arcadia eFuels. They are experts in their field, complex logistics operations, including liquid CO2 transport, while we at Arcadia eFuels specialise in producing eSAF. We have been very impressed with the professionalism and experience of Blue Water, especially when they shared their experience and lessons learned from the Greensand CCS CO2 trial. Together, we can leverage the project by building on each of our strengths,” says Martin Nielsen, Arcadia eFuels Plant Manager.

The commitment between Blue Water and Arcadia eFuels is initially stated to run for about a decade, providing a robust and steady CO2 supply for the first 10 years of operation in a rapidly developing CO2 market in Northern Europe, including Denmark.
Carbon recycling technology

The facility in Vordingborg will be the world’s first large-scale Power-to-X plant dedicated to producing eSAF and is expected to be operational before the end of this decade. By utilising biogenic CO2 as raw material, Arcadia eFuels is advancing the development of carbon recycling technology. The aim is to decarbonise the aviation industry, in alignment with EU efforts. The initial EU requirement is for eSAF to make up 0.7% of the fuel used at EU airports by 2030, with a planned increase to 35% by 2050.

The project has attracted significant industry and political support, with Danish Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities Lars Aagaard visiting the site in September alongside Arcadia eFuels CEO, Amy Hebert.

“We are honoured to be part of this project,” says Søren Gammelgaard Nielsen, Head of Projects at Blue Water. “This collaboration not only represents a significant business milestone for Blue Water, but is also in line with our commitment to serve sustainable energy solutions. Partnering with Arcadia eFuels on carbon capture, transportation and utilisation for eSAF production is an exciting step forward for the logistics industry.

As innovator and frontrunner in the eSAF industry, Arcadia eFuels is an ideal partner for Blue Water. Their experienced leadership team has driven the project in Vordingborg from initial idea to completion of FEED in record time.”
