LanzaJet, a leader in sustainable fuels technology, has received a $20 million investment from Groupe ADP, a global airport operator. This funding will support LanzaJet’s expansion of its sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production technology worldwide. The investment follows the opening of the company’s Freedom Pines Fuels plant, the first commercial-scale ethanol-to-SAF facility in the world. LanzaJet aims to produce one billion gallons of SAF by 2030, contributing to the decarbonization of the aviation industry.

Emirates Airlines has received sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from Shell Aviation at London Heathrow Airport. This significant move marks the airline’s first use of SAF at Heathrow and the largest amount acquired by Emirates to date. The SAF, mixed with traditional jet fuel, will be integrated into Emirates’ flights until summer 2024, representing a crucial step in the airline’s sustainability journey. The SAF will be managed using comprehensive reporting methods, tracking its sustainability attributes. Emirates supports the London Heathrow SAF Incentive Programme, which promotes the affordability of SAF for airlines and aims to boost the market’s growth. With this collaboration, Emirates seeks to reduce emissions and contribute to the wider adoption of sustainable fuels in the aviation industry.

Virgin Atlantic’s Flight100 made aviation history as the first transatlantic journey powered entirely by Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). This pioneering flight demonstrated the safety and efficacy of SAF, showcasing its potential to significantly reduce CO2 emissions, improve local air quality, and minimize contrail formation. The success of Flight100, conducted on a Boeing 787 with no aircraft modifications, highlights the feasibility of integrating SAF into existing aviation infrastructure.

Honeywell’s latest innovation enables cost-effective production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) using biomass feedstocks. By combining its Fischer-Tropsch technology with hydrocracking, Honeywell’s solution addresses the growing demand for low-carbon fuels in the aviation industry and aligns with the energy transition megatrend.
