Rewriting the SAF Cost Equation: Graforce and NEUMAN & ESSER Introduce Direct Plasma Syngas Route
Modular syngas production integrating carbon processing, syngas compression, and Graforce Plasmalyzer technology.
Graforce & NEUMAN & ESSER announced that they will present an integrated green/low-carbon syngas production solution at the European Biofuels & SAF Summit 2026
Our plasma technology converts biogas into SAF-ready syngas, cutting emissions and enabling SAF production costs as low as €0.72–1.44/L.”
MADRID, SPAIN, June 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- NEUMAN & ESSER and Graforce today announced that they will present an integrated green/low-carbon syngas production solution at the European Biofuels & SAF Summit 2026 (EBSS2026) in Madrid on June 17–18.— Dr. Jens Hanke
The joint solution combines Graforce’s plasma-based syngas technology with NEUMAN & ESSER’s expertise in gas compression, carbon processing and plant integration. The system converts biogas (methane and CO₂-rich gas streams) into valuable synthesis gas (syngas), enabling the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) while significantly reducing emissions and SAF production costs of approximately €0.72–1.44 per litre, depending on feedstock, electricity price and plant configuration.
“SAF producers are looking for scalable and economically viable pathways to reduce their production costs” said Dr. Jens Hanke, CEO of Graforce. “By converting methane and industrial CO₂ into green or low-carbon syngas, we provide a practical solution that integrates directly into established SAF production routes while creating additional value from waste gases and biogenic carbon sources.”
Graforce’s proprietary Plasmalyzers enable electrified carbon utilization by transforming methane and CO₂ into syngas without the need for costly electrolysis-based hydrogen. The technology can utilize a wide range of feedstocks, including biogas, landfill gas, flare gas and industrial off-gases, creating a flexible platform for sustainable fuel production.
Combined with NEUMAN & ESSER’s advanced gas compression and carbon processing technologies, the integrated system maximizes plant efficiency while supporting the utilization of industrial emissions. The resulting syngas can be used directly in established Fischer-Tropsch and other SAF pathways, enabling the production of sustainable fuels from existing carbon sources.
The solution is particularly attractive for operators of biogas plants and industrial facilities seeking to increase the value of CO₂-rich gas streams. By converting biomethane and CO₂ into syngas, producers can access higher-value SAF markets while contributing to the decarbonization of aviation.
Representatives from both companies will showcase the technology at EBSS 2026 and discuss the role of green/low-carbon syngas in accelerating the deployment of sustainable fuels across Europe. In addition, NEUMAN & ESSERs Carlo Terragni and Graforce CEO Dr. Jens Hanke will participate in the panel discussion “Scaling Biomethane for Net Zero: Powering the Green Gas Transition”, highlighting how biomethane and CO₂ utilization can contribute to the future supply of sustainable fuels.
