Deploying e-fuels for the aviation and maritime sectors
Elyse Energy is a European specialist in low-carbon molecules, commonly known as "e-fuels", which are essential for decarbonizing air and maritime transport. They are also necessary for the decarbonization of certain industries that use them for their chemical properties.

Founded in 2020, Elyse Energy is a pioneering industrial SME in the production of low-carbon molecules. By producing hydrogen and capturing and converting carbon, Elyse Energy is helping its customers - chemical manufacturers, maritime operators and airlines - to decarbonize their activities by offering sustainable solutions that are compatible with the existing infrastructure: e-methanol and sustainable aviation fuels. In September 2023, Elyse Energy announced a financing operation with Hy24 and Mirova to support the development of its e-methanol and sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) projects in France and Spain.
Becoming one of Europe's leading e-fuels players
Elyse Energy is an industrial SME that develops, finances, builds and operates low-carbon molecule production plants.
In France and the Iberian Peninsula, Elyse Energy is involved in a number of major industrial projects to produce low-carbon molecules: eM-Rhône, eM-Lacq, NeoCarb and eM-Numancia, four projects to produce e-methanol; and BioTJet, a major project to produce sustainable aviation fuels. With a portfolio of projects at various stages of development in France and the Iberian Peninsula, Elyse Energy will have a total installed capacity of nearly 2.5 GW, for an annual production of more than 1 million tonnes of e-methanol and 200,000 tonnes of sustainable aviation fuels.
Developing a new industry
"E-fuels represent a unique opportunity to reconcile decarbonization, sovereignty and re-industrialisation in France and Europe. As with renewable gas and electricity, mobilizing private capital will be crucial to financing the creation of this new sector."
