Northern Green Fuels Oy is a pioneer in the production and development of renewable methanol and SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel).

The Green Methanol Production Concept

A unique combination of three proven technologies:

  1. Biomass Gasification – A renewable source of carbon
  2. Electrolytic Hydrogen – Renewable hydrogen from water
  3. Methanol Synthesis – Carbon and hydrogen are synthesized into renewable methanol

Benefits and Competitive Advantages

  • Up to 86% reduction in CO₂ emissions
  • One-third lower production costs compared to traditional e-methanol, which uses point-source CO₂
  • Independent of subsidies
  • Rapidly growing marine fuel market
  • NeF’s unique production concept combines biomass gasification and electrolytic hydrogen into a methanol synthesis process—merging three established industrial technologies
  • The result is a cost-effective and sustainable clean fuel solution—without reliance on government support
  • Production capacity can exceed 300,000 tons per plant annually—scalable and competitive

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) – The Aviation Fuel of the Future

What is SAF?

SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) is a renewable aviation fuel that can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 80% compared to fossil-based alternatives. It is produced from renewable methanol, which is converted into synthetic hydrocarbons via the methanol-to-jet (MTJ) process.

Why SAF from NeF?

Because NeF produces renewable methanol in-house, we are uniquely positioned in the SAF market. Our production capacity can exceed 120,000 tons of SAF per plant annually—scalable and cost-competitive.
