Sasol and Topsoe have signed a cooperation agreement with the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and EPC contractor Griesemann for the construction, operation and research and development activities of DLR’s sustainable aviation fuels demonstration plant at the Leuna Chemical Complex, Germany. The demonstration plant is currently under construction and expects to produce 2500 t/a of e-fuels, starting in Q4 2027. The e-fuels produced will comprise mainly of kerosene, using renewable feedstocks such as biogenic CO2 and green hydrogen. With €130 million of funding secured from the German Federal Ministry for Transport, the plant will be the largest demonstration and research facility globally for the production of e-fuels.

In late July, OCP Nutricrops announced that its triple superphosphate (TSP) production capacity now exceeds five million tonnes, thanks to the commissioning of the first two TSP production lines – each with a capacity of 500,000 t/a – as part of the strategic ‘TSP Hub’ programme at OCP’s massive Jorf Lasfar complex. This initiative is led by the OCP Group’s Manufacturing Special Business Unit (SBU) in coordination with OCP Nutricrops, OFAS and JESA.
