Problem
Global shipping and aviation sectors need rapid decarbonisation, but the supply of green fuels is limited and current green fuel options are too expensive to achieve scale.
Solution
Flyingforest offers a modular biomass‑to‑fuel platform that converts forestry waste and low‑cost renewable electricity into green methanol, which can be further processed into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) using proven TRL‑9 methanol‑to‑jet technology. The system leverages abundant, homogeneous feedstock and phased CAPEX to deliver ultra‑low‑cost green methanol with over 90 % CO₂ reduction. By securing an industrial site in Finland, off‑take letters of intent, and performance guarantees, the company de‑risks early revenue generation and creates a replicable model for global expansion.
Target Audience
Primary customers are fuel distributors, airlines, and shipping companies seeking certified low‑carbon methanol and SAF, as well as industrial partners requiring sustainable fuel supply contracts.
Features
- Modular plant design enabling phased construction and easy scaling to new locations
- Dual‑pathway process: direct green methanol production followed by methanol‑to‑jet conversion
- Utilisation of forestry waste as a carbon‑neutral feedstock combined with low‑cost green electricity
- TRL‑9 methanol‑to‑jet technology with performance guarantees and first‑quartile production costs
- Integrated off‑take agreements to secure revenue streams for both methanol and SAF
- Adaptive power design that matches variable renewable electricity supply
