As Hong Kong strives to maintain its status as a global aviation hub, industry leaders and sustainability experts stress the urgent need for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) policies and investments. With 98% of the aviation sector’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions coming from jet fuel use, SAF is seen as critical […]
As airlines prepare for the first voluntary phase of the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), many are facing growing confusion over the carbon credits they can purchase to meet their emissions obligations. Trafigura Group, a global leader in carbon trading, recently highlighted concerns about the lack
The recent decision by Uniper and Sasol to cancel the ambitious 200MW hydrogen-based sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) project, SkyFuelH2, in Sweden has raised important questions about the current state of green hydrogen initiatives and the aviation industry’s sustainability goals. The cancellation, attributed to slow market development, regulatory challenges, and rising
The aviation industry has taken another step forward in its sustainability journey, thanks to groundbreaking research from the Argonne National Laboratory. Scientists at Argonne have developed a revolutionary technology—membrane-assisted anaerobic digestion (MAAD)—that converts organic waste streams into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This innovative process could reduce aviation-related greenhouse gas (GHG)
