Aviation has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Aviation accounts for 2-3 % of global carbon emissions – growing to >20% by 2050 if action not taken. Non-CO2 effects have an approximately 3 times higher climate impact than CO2 emissions alone. Accordingly, SAF has been identified as one of the key elements in reducing […]
This week on ABLC Connect we looked at the policies, projects, players, raw materials and end–use demand for SAF — from field to wing, we have the current projects under construction, the Value Stack, a supply forecast, and the latest on the SAF Grand Challenge, among other topics in this 35 slide State of the […]
The SAF Grand Challenge is vast. It sets out to achieve a minimum 50% reduction in lifecycle GHG emissions compared to conventional aviation fuel, increase SAF output to 3 billion gallons per year by 2030, achieve SAF output of 35 billion gallons per year by 2050, to meet complementary ESG commitments from major passenger and […]

The US generates ~10 million tons municipal wastewater sludges/year Disposal to land or landfills is limited, expensive. The Opportunity is to convert sludges to fuels using Hydrothermal Liquefaction. Conversion of sludges to ‘biocrude’, for upgrading to aviation and other fuels, with HTL has a US potential of over 4 billion Liters oil/year. There are favorable […]
