Germany’s Largest Industrial-Scale e-SAF Plant
Concrete Chemicals is developing Germany’s largest industrial-scale production facility for electro-sustainable aviation fuels (e-SAF).
Concrete Chemicals is a joint venture between ENERTRAG and Zaffra, combining expertise in renewable energy, green molecules, and industrial decarbonization. The goal is to create a scalable plant concept that supports the industrial ramp-up of e-SAF.
| Location: Brandenburg, Germany |
| Output: PtL plant for the production of 30,000 t/a e-SAF |
| CO2 Reduction for the aviation industry: 100,000 t/a |
| Commissioning: planned for 2030 |
With Concrete Chemicals, we are demonstrating that the energy transition does not end with the power supply - it extends to aviation. Our expertise in the field of renewable energies enables the cost-efficient use of green hydrogen in the production of tomorrow's aviation fuels.

Concrete Chemicals produces synthetic jet fuel from biogenic CO₂ and renewable hydrogen using Power-to-Liquid (PtL) technology. The facility is planned to produce over 30,000 tons of e-SAF per year, enabling the aviation industry to reduce fossil CO₂ emissions by at least 100,000 tons annually.
The project makes a measurable contribution to decarbonizing air travel and achieving climate targets in the transport sector. Concrete Chemicals demonstrates how innovation, renewable energy, and climate policy can work together: to build European e-SAF supply chains and create regional value through high-quality industrial jobs.
The technical planning phase begins now. A final investment decision is expected by 2027, with commissioning planned for 2030.
The project supports the blending quotas for e-SAF established under the ReFuelEU Aviation regulation. At the same time, Concrete Chemicals contributes to Germany’s National Strategy for Sustainable Aviation and helps meet the country’s e-SAF blending targets for 2030.
As an independent energy company, ENERTRAG generates electricity and heat exclusively from renewable sources and supplies secure, affordable renewable energy for all areas of life. With over 30 years of experience, ENERTRAG combines all the expertise required for successful operation and efficient maintenance, for citizen-centered planning, reliable construction of energy plants and grids through to complete integrated power plants.
The goal: 100 percent fossil-free – worldwide. To achieve this, ENERTRAG is turning pioneering ideas into sustainable, viable solutions.
