In a major milestone for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) innovation, UK green hydrogen producer Protium delivered in 2025, its first consignment of green hydrogen to climate‑tech company OXCCU at the company’s OX1 pilot facility in Oxford. This collaboration marked a tangible step forward in the development of cost‑effective and lower‑carbon intensity SAF from waste carbon and hydrogen, demonstrating the real‑world integration of clean hydrogen supply with next‑generation fuel technologies.

OXCCU announced publicly, last year, “We received a delivery of green hydrogen from Protium at our OX1 pilot facility, marking the important step in the production of SAF from waste carbon and green hydrogen”.

OXCCU’s OX1 plant, commissioned in 2024 at London Oxford Airport, is the world’s first demonstration facility to convert CO₂ and hydrogen directly into jet‑fuel‑range hydrocarbons in a single catalytic step. This innovative process simplifies the traditional multi‑stage fuel production pathway, reducing complexity, energy losses, and overall carbon footprint compared with conventional methods.
