The Swiss pilot project will aim to show how effective the "aerobrew" e-SAF technique could be.

he Swiss federal government has given a multimillion swiss franc grant to a climate tech start up and a scientific research institute, funding an e-SAF production test facility. 

Switzerland’s Federal Office of Energy will provide SFr4.4m ($4.9m) to Zurich-based Metafuels and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), with its campus in the north of Switzerland. 

The partners will further develop Metafuels’ “aerobrew” SAF technology. According to the company, its proprietary technique can convert green methanol into e-SAF, from responsibly sourced ingredient chemicals.
