Delta Airlines Inc, this week, made an announcement on a sustainable aviation fuel offtake deal with DG Fuel LLC. The deal will help foster DG Fuel’s planned Louisiana facility which will feature electrolysers from HydrogenPro AS, a Norway-based company.
Based on the offtake deal, DG Fuels plans to supply 385 million gallons of unblended SAF to Delta Airlines. The delivery of the fuel is expected to commence by the end of 2027, with 55 million gallons delivered every year over a seven-year period. It is possible that the fuel will be produced from timber waste, corn stover and cotton gin waste. DG Fuels aims to combine carbon from such waste feedstocks with green hydrogen.
HydrogenPro is set to provide at least 839 MW of its high-pressure alkaline electrolysers for DG Fuels’ Louisiana facility. It said today it expects the contract to be signed in the first quarter of 2023, with the first electrolysers to be delivered in 2024.
“This project will place HydrogenPro as the world’s largest supplier of electrolysers, and we are now accelerating our presence in the US,” said HydrogenPro interim chief executive and founder Richard Espeseth.
