Ineratec and Haltermann Carless Partner on Bio-e-SAF
German cleantech firm Ineratec and specialty chemicals manufacturer Haltermann Carless have signed a non-binding Letter of Intent for the offtake of bio-e-SAF and bio-e-naphtha from Ineratec's planned 'ERA T.H2' plant in Normandy, France. The facility, a Power-and-Biomass-to-Liquid project, will process 60,000 tonnes of wood residues annually from 2031, producing at least 13,000 tonnes of liquid hydrocarbons via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Haltermann Carless will purchase a significant volume for at least ten years post-commissioning. The plant is expected to start operations in 2029, with funding from the EU, Bpifrance, and the Normandy region. The deal is preliminary, and specific volumes and prices remain undisclosed. e-Fuels face cost challenges and energy inefficiency, but EU regulations mandate rising sustainable fuel quotas for aviation.
The partnership signals growing commercial interest in synthetic e-fuels, positioned as a sustainable alternative for aviation and motorsports, though the non-binding nature and cost challenges temper immediate impact.

EveryCarbon wins FLAIR subcontract to scale materials production
EveryCarbon, a manufacturer of high-performance shielding materials, has won a subcontract under the FLAIR project, led by TU Hamburg, to scale its circular diol production from lab to a 10,000-litre industrial pilot at Popp Feinkost. The project aims to validate the industrial-scale production of ECOne, a polyester insulation material, using food waste hydrolysate and existing infrastructure. This initiative supports the shift to fossil-independent manufacturing and involves partners such as the University of Hamburg and Fraunhofer IPA for monomer development and data analytics. The project is a multi-year effort to convert food-processing side-streams into functional materials.
Reverion raises $175M, plans factory with 800 jobs
Reverion, a Bavarian energy-tech startup, has raised $175 million (€154.2 million) in a Series B round led by climate-tech fund Kembara, with participation from Allianz, KfW Capital, Aurum Impact, and Carbon Equity.
