In an exciting development for the aviation industry, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have pioneered a method to transform waste streams into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Using methane-arrested anaerobic digestion (MAAD) technology, this innovation converts high-strength organic wastewater—like that from breweries and dairy farms—into volatile

In a promising new chapter for the aviation and agricultural sectors, the Kansas Farm Bureau is spearheading discussions on the development of a new form of sustainable jet fuel. The initiative, aimed at strengthening collaboration between local farmers and the aviation industry, is already attracting interest from major players, including

India’s journey towards decarbonizing its aviation sector is taking off with significant promise. According to Deloitte India’s recent report, “Green Wings: India’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Revolution in the Making,” the country is poised to produce 8-10 million tonnes of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) by 2040. Achieving this target will

The aviation industry’s path toward achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 is complex and challenging. It requires the development of innovative technologies, robust research, and new distribution systems to significantly reduce carbon output. Recognizing the need for collaborative efforts, Airbus has partnered with the government of the Philippines to explore

In a significant stride towards decarbonizing the aviation industry, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation to expand access to financing for clean aviation energy projects. This collaboration is set to advance sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and other

The transition to Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) is a critical part of the aviation industry’s efforts to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. With airlines seeking alternatives to fossil-based jet fuel, SAF has emerged as a promising solution due to its potential to cut carbon emissions by up to 80% compared

On November 28, 2023, Virgin Atlantic achieved a significant milestone in the aviation industry with Flight100—the world’s first transatlantic flight powered entirely by sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This revolutionary flight, from London Heathrow to New York JFK, reduced carbon dioxide emissions by an impressive 95 tonnes, demonstrating the tangible impact

The aviation industry is charting a clear path towards sustainability, with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) recently reaffirming the possibility of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Speaking at the World Sustainability Symposium in Miami, IATA underscored the crucial role of global cooperation among governments, airlines, and other stakeholders

Christchurch Airport has once again proven that it is a trailblazer in sustainability, achieving a landmark recognition as the first airport in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions to reach Level 5 accreditation under the Airport Carbon Accreditation (ACA) programme. This achievement highlights the airport’s steadfast commitment to addressing climate

In an exciting breakthrough for sustainable aviation, researchers at Washington State University (WSU) have successfully developed a continuous process to convert lignin, an agricultural waste product, into sustainable jet fuel. This innovation marks a significant milestone in the quest to reduce the aviation sector’s environmental impact and reliance on traditional

The Sustainable Aviation Fuel Certificate (SAFc) Registry, launched on September 27 in Switzerland, represents a groundbreaking step in the aviation sector’s decarbonization efforts. This innovative platform, developed by RMI and the Environmental Defense Fund through the Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance (SABA), aims to facilitate the adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel

The aviation sector is at a pivotal moment in its journey toward sustainability. With global environmental regulations tightening and the demand for carbon-neutral operations rising, the role of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is more crucial than ever. One promising avenue in this sector is Electronic Sustainable Aviation Fuel (ESAF), produced
