Uniper and Arcadia eFuels have signed a legally binding agreement for 40,000 metric tons of eSAF annually from Project Endor in Denmark.

The agreement covers more than ten years, with current planning foreseeing supply from the early 2030s onwards. Deliveries remain subject to agreed conditions precedent and the Vordingborg eSAF facility commencing commercial operations.

Arcadia eFuels is developing Project Endor in Vordingborg, Denmark, where the eSAF will be produced using renewable electricity, self-produced green hydrogen, and captured CO₂. The company said the fuel can achieve up to 98% lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared with conventional jet fuel.

The fuel is designed to comply with Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) requirements and is compatible with sustainable aviation fuel frameworks including the EU ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation.

Uniper will offtake 40,000 metric tons of eSAF annually. According to the companies, that volume is equivalent to the fuel required for approximately 1,000 Boeing 787-9 flights between Düsseldorf and Abu Dhabi each year.

Michael Lewis, CEO of Uniper, said: “This agreement brings long-term demand and new supply together, helping to create the conditions for a competitive European eSAF market. For Uniper, it is also an important step in building a strong position in a market with significant growth potential.”

Amy Hebert, CEO of Arcadia eFuels, said: “This agreement with Uniper is a foundational step in Arcadia eFuels’ commercial journey. Securing long-term offtake from a sophisticated energy partner like Uniper validates our solution, de-risks our capital strategy, and accelerates our path to production at scale.”
