In Australia, Reuters reported that Australian researchers have developed a chemical process that could produce SAF from landfill gases as a way of cutting carbon emissions. The researchers from the Sydney University scientists used non-thermal plasma technology that fires high-energy electrons in normal atmospheric conditions into methane and carbon dioxide emitted from landfills, causing carbon and hydrogen to bond. That process leads to production of sustainable aviation fuel, according to the report. “It redefines what we think of in terms of chemistry … I think the impact is very significant,” said P.J. Cullen, of the university’s school of chemical and biomolecular engineering.
