    "excerpt": "To produce e-SAF, the synthetic sustainable aviation fuel derived from a combination of hydrogen and CO₂, the Anglo-Dutch oil major Shell has decided to focus on SOEC (Solid Oxide Electrolyser Cell) electrolysis technology and – to this end – to partner with the German research institute Fraunhofer IKTS and the Austrian company AVL. The collaboration agreed between the two organisations and Shell Global Solutions International B.V. will last four years and will involve a programme aimed at developing a power-to-liquids (PTL) process, which will include a series of pilot-scale tests at Shell’s Energy Transition Campus Amsterdam (ETCA), combining high-temperature co-electrolysis using solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC), advanced membrane separation, Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis and the utilisation of residual process gases. The aim is to make future e-SAF production more efficient and cost-effective than currently available PTL technologies. Shell will contribute to the programme with its Shell XTL Process, which draws on decades of experience in the gas-to-liquids (GTL) process, whilst the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS will provide its advanced solid-oxide co-electrolysis technology and AVL will contribute expertise in electrolysis system engineering. Together, the partners aim to bridge the crucial gap between laboratory-scale innovation...",
