Pilatus and Synhelion cooperate for solar fuels in aviation

Pilatus and Synhelion enter into a strategic partnership to accelerate the scaling of solar fuels for aviation. Pilatus would like to use Synhelion's fuel for its own flight operations and, in the medium term, also offer it to its own customers.

Cooperation:

• Pilatus invests in Synhelion and becomes a shareholder in the company.
• Pilatus uses solar fuels from Synhelion for its own flight operations.
• Pilatus will also offer solar fuels to its customers in the medium term.
• Synhelion is currently building the world's first industrial plant for the production of solar fuel in Germany.
• The construction of the first commercial plant in Spain is planned from 2025.

Goals of the partnership:

• Decarbonizing air travel
• Replacing fossil fuels with renewable solar fuels
• Accelerating Solar Fuel Scaling

Importance of partnership:

The partnership between Pilatus and Synhelion is an important step towards decarbonizing air traffic. Solar fuels have the potential to completely replace fossil fuels and make air travel emission-free. The collaboration between the two companies will help accelerate the scaling of solar fuels and make them available more quickly.
