Metafuels and the Paul Scherrer Institute inaugurated their aerobrew demonstration plant at PSI in Villigen on 20 August. The facility scales up their catalytic process for converting renewable methanol into aviation fuel, following laboratory development.
Designed to produce 50 litres per day, the plant will test and optimise the process under real-world conditions. Metafuels plans its first commercial aerobrew plant for operation from 2030; the PSI installation is the demonstration step toward that scale.
