Who We Are

Solarbelt FairFuel gGmbH was founded in 2019 as the non-profit partner organization of atmosfair and is headquartered in Berlin-Neukölln, Germany. The organization owns and operates the world's first commercial-scale e-kerosene production plant in Emsland, Germany.

​

Its mission is to initiate, build, and operate production facilities for new climate-friendly aviation fuels in developing countries through fair energy partnerships. These fuels are based either on green hydrogen (Power-to-Liquid) or on sustainable residual biomass (Biomass-to-Liquid), rather than conventional biofuels. Solarbelt actively pursues both technology pathways and aligns its sustainability criteria with the atmosfair fairfuel Standard. In doing so, it promotes a future in which countries of the Global North and Global South work together as equal partners to advance climate protection. The organization is currently developing follow-up projects in Asia, Africa, and South America.

​

At the same time, Solarbelt works to build demand for sustainable aviation fuels among airlines and other customers while testing and advancing emerging technologies such as Direct Air Capture (DAC). As a non-profit organization, Solarbelt distributes no profits. Instead, all revenues from airlines, tourism companies, and other customers are reinvested in expanding production capacity and further developing sustainable fuel technologies.
