The program has two tracks: the Deploy Track, for start-ups that are ready to test their solutions in operational conditions over twelve weeks, and the Discover Track, designed to help deep tech start-ups gain valuable insights for commercialising their technologies over six months. The Discover track is focused on three areas this year: sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), carbon removals and fuel efficiency. Liquid Sun is developing technology that enables the production of renewable - electricity-based sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) from biogenic CO2.
In spring 2024, Liquid Sun launched a pilot project to test the industrial production capabilities of sustainable synthetic aviation fuels (eSAF). Following a successful pilot and funding round, the company is now building Finland’s first pre-commercial eSAF demonstration plant inside a 66 m² shipping container. The facility, to be completed in autumn, will lay the groundwork for large-scale eSAF production.
The Accelerator program supports IAG’s goal of accelerating promising early-stage technologies that can help it meet its sustainability goals. Liquid Sun will take part in a six-month development track, working alongside IAG experts and other startups. This year, the program has selected 29 startups from 11 countries.
