Shaping Europe’s eSAF industry in Rotterdam

An independent socio-economic analysis by Ecorys of eFuels Rotterdam, a Power2X project, shows what producing eSAF here would be worth to the Dutch economy, in growth, jobs, emissions and the grid.

Shaping Europe’s eSAF industry in Rotterdam – Socio-economic impact of eFuels Rotterdam​

Europe has mandated the demand for eSAF, the synthetic aviation fuel that fuel suppliers must provide at EU airports from 2030. The Netherlands can supply it, or import it.

Ecorys finds that producing eSAF in Rotterdam would contribute around €1.3 billion a year to Dutch GDP and support 4,000 to 6,400 jobs in the Netherlands. It would avoid up to 750,000 tonnes of CO₂ a year.

If the fuel is imported instead, Dutch fuel suppliers still need to buy it. Ecorys estimates this would mean around €300 million a year spent on eSAF imports in 2030, rising to more than €1 billion a year by the mid-2030s, with the jobs and value created in other countries.

Power2X commissioned the study and provided technical input on the eFuels Rotterdam project.
