Problem
The transportation and food production industries heavily rely on fossil fuels, contributing significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. The high cost and limited availability of green fuel alternatives hinder the widespread adoption of sustainable practices in these sectors.
Solution
Sempens develops and builds projects that produce sustainable fuels at scale, enabling net-zero transportation and food production. The company focuses on reducing the "green premium" by leveraging renewable power resources, CO2, vegetable oils, and animal fats in Latin America to produce sustainable fuels. These drop-in fuels, chemically identical to those currently used, allow for emissions reduction while utilizing existing infrastructure, including planes, ships, logistics systems, and end-user equipment. Sempens' projects include the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) via the HEFA pathway, Green Ammonia, and green hydrogen for fuel cell electric vehicles.
Target Audience
Sempens' primary customers are companies in the transportation (aviation, maritime) and food production industries seeking to decarbonize their operations and reduce their environmental impact.
