Description
The OX1 plant represents a significant advancement in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)production. Through its novel catalyst and reactor design, the subject of over a decade of research at the University of Oxford, the plant will convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen (H2) directly to long-chain hydrocarbons with high conversion and selectivity for use as SAF, named OXFuel™.
This FOAK facility, based at London Oxford Airport and designed and operated by OXCCU, produces 1 kg (~1.2 litres) of liquid fuel per day and started operations in September 2024. The plant was the world’s first demonstration of the direct conversion of CO2 and H2 to jet fuel range hydrocarbons in a single step with minimal oxygenated byproducts using OXCCU’s novel catalyst. The plant is part of OXCCU’s strategic scale up journey as the first OXCCU plant out of the lab. It will provide the data key to the design, build and operations the OX2 plant which will launch in 2026.
