Spark e-Fuels, a Berlin-based company innovating in load-flexible e-fuel technology, has secured a €2.3 million pre-seed investment to accelerate its sustainable aviation fuel solutions.

Information on the Target

Spark e-Fuels is a Berlin-based company that is pioneering innovative load-flexible e-fuel technology aimed specifically at the aviation sector. The company addresses a significant challenge within the aviation industry by developing sustainable fuels that can be produced at a lower cost using intermittent renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar. Their unique approach allows for the production of e-fuels without the limitations of requiring consistent hydrogen supply or the need for extensive hydrogen storage.

This technological breakthrough positions Spark e-Fuels as a key player in the transition towards sustainable aviation, which currently contributes approximately 2.5% of global CO₂ emissions. Their ability to produce e-fuels efficiently could resolve a major bottleneck in sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), making them a scalable substitute for traditional fossil-based aviation fuel.
