ALFAFUELS is a Horizon Europe European project which seeks to develop innovative Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) technology to reduce aviation’s reliance on fossil fuels. By addressing key challenges like high production costs and sustainability issues, the project incorporates breakthroughs such as microbial fuel precursor production and solar-driven photochemistry.
ALFAFUELS aims to reach Technology Readiness Level 5, utilising novel bioreactors, pilot-scale trials, and industry collaboration for accelerated upscaling.
The overall objective of ALFAFUELS is to enhance the upscaling potential of technologies for Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) production from CO₂ through:

AddScience:
AddScience Sweden AB conducts contract research and development, analytical and consulting services for industry and society, as well as public research with a focus on sustainable transition and bio-based products. AddScience specializes in chemical problem solving in the material, product and process areas, where we combine our knowledge and experience with both classical and state of the art analytical chemistry tools, such as GC-MS, in-house designed instruments and test rigs. Areas that we have worked in in the past with both problem solving and development are e.g. electronics, chemical processes, surface treatment, medical technology, quality monitoring, product durability/lifetime, food, water treatment, material emissions, biogas, recycling and algae cultivation. AddScience shares the Industridoktorn® trademark with four additional companies in the area of chemistry and microbiology, operating out of newly built laboratory premises on Björkö in the northern archipelago of Gothenburg, Sweden.
