With the SAF data stored in a single module, […]
In France, Paris-Vatry SAF is a new Sustainable Aviation Fuel production project led by Haffner Energy. This facility is designed to meet the exponential demand for the decarbonization of air transport. Developed with multiple public and private partners, Paris-Vatry SAF will be located at Paris-Vatry airport, in the Grand-Est Region. The biofuel will be produced using […]
In Colorado, a new study from Conversion of Organic Waste to Sustainable Aviation Fuel via Carboxylic Acids demonstrates conversion of organic waste to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) using microbial conversion followed by catalytic upgrading. Carboxylic acids produced by microbes are upgraded to SAF over commercially available catalysts. This research reports a catalytic process to convert […]
In Australia, aviation experts from the University of South Australia (UniSA) will work with their Chinese counterparts over the next two years to develop a sustainable aviation biofuel industry in both countries. The collaboration, announced by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) on Saturday, comes on the back of a A$1.7 billion Federal […]
In China, Reuters reports that major domestic companies including Junheng Industry Group Biotech, Zhejiang Jiaao Enprotech and Tianzhou New Energy plan to bring 1 million metric tons of sustainable aviation fuel production online in the next 18 as the world’s second largest aviation market seeks to decarbonize. That new production would account for about 2.5% […]
In The Netherlands, The Hague Airport (RTHA) and the Port of Rotterdam Authority signed a letter of intent for the further development of supply chains for sustainable fuels, such as SAF and hydrogen as aviation fuel. Both ports are working on establishing new chains for supplying, producing and purchasing alternative fuels and will share knowledge […]
In Norway, Global Defense News reports the Norwegian Ministry of Defense announced it will begin using sustainable aviation fuel in its F-35s by the end of the year, which it has yet to do so far. The US Navy, Royal Air Force and militaries in Brazil, France and Germany have all trialed biofuels in their […]
In California, enabled by its partnership with Neste, Signature Aviation, who operates the world’s largest network of business aviation terminals, is now providing only blended Neste MY Sustainable Aviation Fuel to all aircraft refueling at its terminal at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Since April 1, Signature’s LAX terminal has become the second business aviation […]
In Washington, the Institute for Policy Studies has released a new report saying that at present, SAF technologies would fail to meet U.S. climate goals by the target year of 2050. There is currently no realistic or scalable alternative to kerosene-based fuels that would meet current aviation needs, let alone the industry’s projections of future […]
In the UK, Nova Pangaea Technologies (NPT) welcomed the UK Government’s announcement of its SAF mandate plans. The mandate becoming law is key to driving investment into a domestic SAF industry placing the UK at the forefront of aviation decarbonization, the firm said. Sarah Ellerby, CEO of NPT, said: “I am pleased by the UK […]
