Imperial College review says Iceland geothermal plant could enable cost-competitive eSAF

Bookmark this story

An independent analysis by Imperial College London of an Icelandic geothermal demonstration plant concludes it could produce cost-competitive green aviation fuel under the right conditions. Syntholene says the review supports its claims about cheaper eSAF production, though the conclusion is conditional on those requirements being met.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The review links geothermal energy to the potential production of cost-competitive eSAF, an alternative fuel pathway relevant to aviation decarbonization.
  • The finding is conditional: the plant’s ability to produce fuel at competitive cost depends on the right conditions, so the demonstration’s economics remain central to assessing the claim.
