About
CAPHENIA is a start-up that has developed a technology to produce synthetic fuel, including kerosene, diesel, and gasoline, which emits no climate-damaging CO2. Their process involves using methane from biological waste, which is then heated and split into carbon and water, with added water and CO2 to produce synthesis gas for fuel production. This technology is particularly promising for aviation, as Germany aims to incorporate synthetic kerosene into aviation gasoline by 2030. CAPHENIA's approach also allows for the use of waste materials to cover a significant portion of kerosene demand.
From the SAFxCHANGE company list, where it is filed as "Fuel Producer".

A company page draws on the SAFxCHANGE record: the agreement table (2013 to late 2023), the plants table (December 2023) and what the reader has found in the news since, marked unverified until checked. The categories follow the SAFxCHANGE value-chain map; they were assigned from the company's role in the deals and plants and from what is written about it, and a company can fill more than one. Names are matched by their words, so a company recorded under two very different names may show on two pages.
