Making SAF from sewage
Firefly Green Fuels is looking to cut aviation’s carbon footprint and transform the way the world’s airlines are powered through an innovative method: Sewage. Taking sewage sludge from water utilities, Firefly puts it into a high pressure reactor to separate it into two useful materials: Biochar, a fertiliser for the agriculture industry, and bio-crude, which […]
North America to dominate global SAF production capacity by 2030
Globally, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is gaining importance as it is environmentally friendly and is relatively purer when compared to conventional jet fuel. As a result, global SAF production is expected to witness remarkable growth, with North America dominating its production capacity by 2030, GlobalData stated. GlobalData’s latest report, “Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Market Production […]
Potential for €2.55 billion Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Industry in Ireland by 2050
Ireland has the potential to develop a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industry generating revenue of €2.55 billion by 2050 and providing up to 1,000 high-skilled jobs. These are the findings of a feasibility study into the production of SAF in Ireland produced by SkyNRG and SFS Ireland, in a partnership supported by Avolon, Boeing and […]
What does the introduction of sustainable aviation fuel mean for how air products are distributed, marketed and sold?
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is widely considered one of the most exciting innovations in the climate change technology space and already airlines are starting to fly passenger flights using the fuel.
