NorSAF Liepaja SAF Facility

The planned location for the NorSAF project is the Port of Liepaja, Latvia. Once built, it will produce both SAF from advanced bioethanol and eSAF, a synthetic fuel made from green hydrogen and biogenic CO₂. By utilizing green electricity to power electrolysis for hydrogen production and combining it with captured carbon, the project will benefit from a complete green energy cycle. Greenhouse gas emissions from the proposed production process are projected to drop by approximately 83% compared to conventional jet fuel production. The intent is to source all feedstocks within Europe to strengthen the continent’s energy independence and industrial resilience. With a target annual production capacity of 100,000 tons of SAF/eSAF, the project is provisionally expected to begin operations in 2031.
