In South Korea, DongA Science reported that a South Korean research team has successfully demonstrated a technology to produce SAF from landfill gas.
The facility can produce 100 kg of aviation fuel per day, according to the report.
The Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) announced that a team led by Principal Researcher Lee Yun-jo of the Chemical Process Research Division, in collaboration with the domestic company Intocore Technology, has successfully demonstrated an integrated process for producing SAF from landfill gas generated by organic waste, such as food scraps.
Intocore Technology designed a pre-treatment process using a membrane to remove impurities like sulfur components and reduce excess carbon from the landfill gas. The gas is then converted into syngas suitable for aviation fuel production using a proprietary reactor, according to the report.
KRICT converts the gaseous syngas into liquid fuel using the existing Fischer-Tropsch process, it added.
