In Washington, the Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance (SABA) announced a new initiative to enable COP30 attendees to support the clean energy transition and address emissions from their air travel to and from the UN-hosted climate convening in Belém, Brazil in November 2025. The COP30 SAF platform empowers conference attendees to calculate and address their aviation-related […]
In South Korea, Korean Air has expanded its use of domestically produced sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), introducing a SAF blend on flights to Kobe and Osaka. The airline first trialed locally produced SAF on its Incheon-Haneda route from August 2024 to August 2025, successfully verifying the fuel’s safety and performance. SAF, which can reduce life-cycle […]
In Hong Kong, EcoCeres Inc. expressed its strong support for the Hong Kong Chief Executive’s 2025 Policy Address, which announced a strategic plan to develop a comprehensive sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industry chain within Hong Kong and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). “We warmly welcome the Hong Kong Government’s visionary initiative to build […]
In Wisconsin, Senator Mary Felzkowski (R-Tomahawk) and Representative Chanz Green (R- Grand View), along with industry leaders, local officials, and investors, have introduced legislation to support Wisconsin’s forestry industry and the broader Northwoods economy. The Forestry Revitalization Act will invest in a new facility located in Hayward, WI to turn woody biomass into sustainable aviation fuel. To […]
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that India is set to join the league of nations producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by the end of this year, according to a senior official from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Jane Hupe, Deputy Director, Environment Branch, Air Transport Bureau at ICAO, said that India is emerging as […]
In the UK, Altalto (Immingham) Limited, owned by Velocys, has been awarded funding from the UK Department for Transport’s Advanced Fuels Fund to complete Basic Engineering Design for its flagship waste-to-SAF facility. The grant enables Altalto to integrate NX Circular™ gasification and NX CPO™ technology from NEXTCHEM with Velocys’ proven MicroFTL™ technology, strengthening its position […]
In India, PSU Watch reports the government is looking seriously at the opportunities provided by sustainable aviation fuel and as such is in the early stages of drafting a SAF policy. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation plans to reach out to industry as well as to other ministries to get input into the policy, […]
In the UAE, Zawya news agency reports Lootah Biofuels has launched sustainable aviation fuel supply from imported SAF, making it one of the few SAF suppliers in the region. The imports are meant to kick off supply while it develops its own standalone dedicated facility using used cooking oil and waste-derived fats as feedstock. Engineering […]
This project, 33% complete with $400k in FY24 funding, aims to develop predictive chemistry and particle microphysics models for SAF contrail formation, a major climate impact driver (57.4 mW/m2 Effective Radiative Forcing). A multi-scale ice nucleation model is being constructed, using machine-learned molecular dynamics potentials that scale linearly for efficient simulation. The SAF Grand Challenge […]
In Canada, Provectus Biofuels Inc. has signed a non-binding letter of intent with a regional Alberta airport that sets out indicative terms under which both parties intend to negotiate a definitive long-term offtake agreement for renewable sustainable aviation fuel produced from Provectus’ Dobrojet Biofuels facility once operational. The letter of intent is for the offtake […]
