Germany is stepping up its decarbonization efforts in aviation with a new power-to-liquid (PtL) initiative at the Leuna Chemical Complex. Four industry leaders, Topsoe, Sasol, the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and Griesemann Gruppe have formalized a cooperation agreement to construct, operate, and conduct research at DLR’s Technology Platform Power-to-Liquid Fuels (TPP), a large-scale facility focused on producing and testing sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).

As global electricity systems grow increasingly dependent on renewable energy, precision in managing energy storage assets has become a decisive factor in grid stability and project profitability. Wärtsilä’s new GEMS Pulse platform directly addresses this operational challenge by transforming raw battery data into actionable intelligence—aiming to unlock the full financial and technical potential of energy storage systems.
