To this end, the process steps isomerization, hydrocracking and distillation will be integrated into the existing production infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the implementation of the upgrading units, INERATEC is expanding its own technological vertical integration. In the future, the conversion of captured CO\u2082 and green hydrogen to usable synthetic&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ineratec.de\/en\/glossary\/clone-aviation-fuel\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">aviation fuel<\/a>&nbsp;will take place within an integrated production platform.
