Malaysia launches aviation decarbonization drive targeting net-zero emissions by 2050
Malaysia is targeting net-zero emissions in its aviation sector by 2050 through the launch of a decarbonization plan.
South Korea plans mix of sustainable aviation fuel for international flights from 2027
South Korea aims to ensure all departing international flights use a mix of about 1% of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from 2027. The step aims to prepare for a carbon offset and reduction scheme that becomes mandatory for members of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) starting from that year.
Utilize a hydrogen reactions lab to optimize renewable fuels processing
Leading technology developers in the refining space are utilizing various catalysts to enhance the adjusted reaction chemistry, but this does not directly address how to optimize hydrogen utilization for the hydrodeoxygenation and isomerization/cracking processing steps. To ensure the right equipment outlay and calibration for these hydrogenation applications, replicating the process in a lab setting can help identify efficiencies and yield improvements for a fraction of the cost that a refiner would incur attempting to achieve that optimization through modifications at commercial scale.
Acer, Cathay Cargo and Dimerco join forces to reduce carbon emissions via SAF
Cathay Cargo and Dimerco Express Group are joining forces to reduce carbon emissions in aviation. Acer and its logistics provider Dimerco have signed an agreement to support sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) use on Cathay Cargo’s flights, beginning from 2024.
China's biofuel firm Jiaao brings in bp as investor for SAF unit
Chinese biofuel firm Zhejiang Jiaao Enprotech said on Friday its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) unit has entered an investment deal with bp, the first alliance involving a global oil major in China's nascent green aviation fuel.
IEEFA: Sustainable aviation fuel shows potential, but issues remain
The aviation industry faces challenges in the effort to reduce its carbon footprint. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) shows potential as a promising alternative to fossil fuels if cost barriers and other concerns are addressed.
U.S. FAA awards nearly $300 MM to SAF projects and technologies
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced that $291 MM in funding was awarded from the Inflation Reduction Act for projects that will help achieve the goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from aviation by 2050.
U.S. economy to benefit from federal SAF incentives at Gevo’s planned Net-Zero 1 facility
Gevo Inc. has released a new report by Charles River Associates (CRA) demonstrating the benefits of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production, including at Gevo’s planned Net-Zero 1 (NZ1) alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) SAF facility in South Dakota (U.S.).
DG Fuels selects Nebraska (U.S.) county for its first Midwest SAF plant
DG Fuels, a U.S.-owned sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) company, in cooperation with the Nebraska BioEconomy, has selected Phelps County, Nebraska, for its first Midwest production facility.
Honeywell UOP and Repsol to collaborate on renewable fuel development
The companies plan to scale and commercialize Honeywell's technologies, which use various wastes like fats, oils, greases, biomass and solids for chemical production and renewable fuels at Repsol’s refineries.
