GreenSinnergy GmbH, a developer of green energy projects, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Axens, a global provider of clean fuel technologies, to collaborate on the development of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) initiatives in Argentina and across Latin America, reports Hydrocarbon Engineering.
The partnership will combine GreenSinnergy’s expertise in project development with Axens’ advanced technology portfolio to meet the growing demand for low-carbon fuels in the aviation industry. The initial focus will be on the Eco-Refinerías del Sur project in Chubut, Argentina—touted as one of the most significant industrial undertakings in the region.
Under the agreement, GreenSinnergy will lead project development efforts, while Axens will provide key technologies, including CO₂ capture, hydrogen purification, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, and upgrading of kerosene and naphtha. The collaboration also includes identifying and securing partners, ensuring regulatory compliance, arranging feedstock and offtake agreements, and preparing detailed cost assessments.
Carlos Villalba, Co-founder of GreenSinnergy, described the alliance as a transformative step. “Partnering with Axens is a crucial move in turning the strong winds of Argentine Patagonia into sustainable aviation fuel. This collaboration marks a major milestone in our efforts to decarbonise one of the toughest sectors in the energy transition,” he said.
Frederic Balligand, Vice President of Renewables at Axens, emphasized the importance of removing technology risks for successful project implementation. “We are offering a full set of technologies—from CO₂ capture to final SAF production—to support GreenSinnergy. Drawing on our global experience, we aim to help navigate every stage of the project, from early development to full operation,” he said.
The agreement reflects both companies’ commitment to advancing clean energy in the aviation sector and fostering long-term sustainability in Latin America’s energy landscape.
