about THE PROJECT
Aviation needs SAF
The world needs new fuels for the future of flight. Batteries and hydrogen require new planes, and aren’t viable for long-haul flight. SAF is a true drop-in fuel, compatible with today’s aircraft and airport infrastructure. It can be blended into existing jet fuel supply chains, reducing aviation emissions without requiring new engines, new fleets, or major changes to fuel logistics.
Power-to-Liquids SAF offers a scalable route to deep decarbonisation, using low-carbon electricity and power to produce synthetic fuels with high emissions reduction potential. Unlike feedstock-limited SAF pathways, PtL can expand in line with clean power availability and sector demand.
Eq.flight has secured £1 million of funding from the UK Department for Transport, recognising the role of advanced SAF technologies in delivering the UK SAF Mandate. This support helps accelerate the demonstration of an integrated Power-to-Liquids production system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Eq.flight is a nuclear-derived power-to-liquids sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) project, integrating reliable nuclear power with proven technologies to produce ultra-low-carbon aviation fuel. Sustainable aviation fuel is low carbon jet fuel which can be used safely in place of traditional fossil kerosene. As a power-to-liquids process, Eq.flight uses only the hydrogen in water and the carbon in air to produce it’s fuel, leading to a massive reduction in carbon emissions from air travel.
Eq.flight’s eSAF can cut aviation fuel carbon intensity by up to 95% and strengthen supply security by reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels. Since fuel produced by Eq.flight can be used directly in place of traditional fossil kerosene, there is no impact to the operation or safety of the plane.
Most SAF pathways depend on constrained, variable feedstocks like waste or crops. Eq.flight uses air, water, and consistent nuclear power to make electro-sustainable aviation fuel known as eSAF, which is more bankable and scalable for decarbonising one of the UK’s fastest-growing, highest-emitting sectors.
Eq.flight aims to produce its first compliant SAF by the early 2030s, demonstrating feasibility ahead of potential co-location with future nuclear projects such as Rolls Royce SMR. The first plant will enter front-end engineering design in 2026.
