Amazon invests in GranBio to help drive innovation in SAF
In Washington, Amazon said it is investing in GranBio to help drive innovation in the sustainable aviation fuel field.
Amazon noted that GranBio’s technology transforms forest and construction waste into lower-carbon fuel, helping reduce emissions in some of the most challenging sectors.
The technology makes SAF and other biobased fuels from waste materials such as leftover branches from forestry operations, crop stalks, and construction debris like discarded pallets and plywood, Amazon said.
GranBio plans to scale SAF production capacity over the next decade by repurposing shuttered pulp and paper mills across the United States, the company added.
“Working with Amazon on this project brings us closer to proving that sustainable aviation fuel made from forest and construction waste can be a real, scalable solution for decarbonizing aviation,” said Kim Nelson, GranBio’s chief technology officer.
