In the UK, Virgin Atlantic has shared headline results from Flight100, the first transatlantic flight on 100% SAF proving not only that the SAF used for the flight is safe to use with existing infrastructure and delivers material reductions in CO2, but can also improve local air quality, contribute to a reduction on persistent contrail […]
In Massachusetts, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) announced it has signed an agreement for the purchase of sustainable aviation fuel certificates (SAFc) with World Energy. The agreement will run through 2028. It is expected to deliver an emissions reduction of 100,000 metric tons of CO2 over the next five years, BCG said. The SAFcs are expected […]
In Texas, Cemvita said it can now produce substantial quantities of its Sustainable Oil from waste carbon sources. Cemvita’s optimized microorganisms are rich in oil and undergo a series of processing steps to extract it. Through applied research and innovation in bioprocess technology, this developed process has produced high-yield extraction of the oil from the […]
In Colorado, Gevo has issued a response to the recently unveiled version of the Argonne National Laboratory Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies (GREET) method and model for carbon accounting. The firm noted that this model will be utilized for lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions calculations under the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) Section […]
In Brazil, Folha de Pernambuco reported that Honeywell sees Brazil as a country with a lot of assets to lead the technological development of SAF. The availability of inputs, from agriculture, and knowledge in ethanol production are the country’s main assets in this field, said José Fernandes, president of Honeywell for Latin America. According to […]
In Washington DC, the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) reported that leaders of the U.S. ethanol industry are seeking to intervene in a legal challenge of the ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation, which effectively bans the use of renewable, crop-based biofuels like corn ethanol as a feedstock for decarbonizing the aviation sector. Collaborating in the intervention are the […]
In Colorado, DataHorizzon Research reported that the global sustainable aviation fuel market size was valued at $1.3 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $ 41.6 billion by 2032. The research report stated that the global SAF market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 46.9% during the 2023-2032 period. “Overall, the growing […]
In the UK, Kent announced that it has been awarded the FEED (Front End Engineering Design) contract for an initiative spearheaded by Fulcrum BioEnergy. Fulcrum’s NorthPoint project is designed to convert approximately 600,000 tons of pre-processed waste into 100 million liters of SAF. With a focus on developing projects to produce net-zero transport fuels from […]
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 […]
In the UK, The Financial Times reported that Luis Gallego, head of IAG stated that the recent mandate on SAF use imposed by the UK Government is a positive step but still not enough to boost SAF production. “Earlier this month, the UK confirmed a 10%SAF mandate. This is a welcome step, supporting industry-wide efforts […]
