IdunnH2 selects Haffner tech for 300-MW e-SAF facility in Iceland

Green hydrogen developer IdunnH2 has signed an agreement to adopt the technology of biomass-to-clean fuels solutions provider Haffner Energy for its 300-MW e-sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) project under development in Helguvik, Iceland.

IdunnH2’s e-SAF facility will combine green hydrogen from local wind, geothermal and hydropower resources with biogenic carbon produced through Haffner’ patented technology for onsite gasification of biocarbon, also known as biochar, to produce SAF.

Located near the Keflavik International Airport, the facility will target annual e-SAF production of 65,000 tonnes once operational. The SAF will be blended onsite with traditional jet fuel and used on existing fleets and infrastructure.

The site's commissioning is targeted for 2028.

Reykjavik-headquartered IdunnH2 was established in 2020 to develop commercially viable hydrogen and e-fuel projects utilising Iceland's resources. Its planned facility is expected to cover 15% of the country’s projected 2028 total jet fuel demand.
