Topsoe and Sasol are analyzing the two primary technology routes for producing synthetic aviation fuel: Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis and Methanol-to-Jet (MTJ). The comparison focuses on carbon efficiency, electricity demand, and the overall levelized cost of fuel production. As projects move toward final investment decisions, the choice between these pathways impacts project bankability and risk. The analysis includes the potential for integrating solid oxide electrolysis cells to improve energy consumption and product yields.
