In New York, Interesting Engineering reported that a new process transforms food waste into sustainable aviation fuel that meets industry standards. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the US developed a thermochemical conversion process that doesn’t require the resultant fuel to be blended with fossil fuels, according to the report. The research team […]
In North Carolina, Honeywell introduced a new technology that converts agricultural and forestry waste into ready-to-use renewable fuels for hard-to- abate sectors, such as the maritime industry. The technology produces lower-carbon marine fuel, gasoline and sustainable aviation fuel from inexpensive and abundant biomass sources like wood chips and crop residues. “Honeywell continues to drive innovation […]
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that Biesse Malaysia, part of the Italian-owned Biesse Group, has partnered with DHL Express to use the GoGreen Plus service, leveraging sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to reduce the carbon footprint of its air freight between Europe and Southeast Asia.

In Thailand, Reccessary reported that Thailand’s first standard for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) specifications is expected to be released this month and enforced next year, starting at 1% and increasing to 8% by 2036. The move aims to decarbonize the aviation sector in line with international measures and support the country’s goal of achieving carbon […]
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that Chiyoda Corporation has secured a front-end engineering design (FEED) contract to develop sustainable aviation fuel production facilities at Taiyo Oil’s Okinawa operations. Under the project, Taiyo Oil plans to produce 200,000 kiloliters of SAF and renewable diesel each year using ethanol-to-jet technology. The initiative supports the Japanese government’s FY2030 […]
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that the global market for sustainable aviation fuel is projected to reach $312 billion within the next four years, driven by a worldwide push toward cleaner and more sustainable energy sources in the aviation sector. According to regulatory data, the sustainable fuel market has witnessed rapid growth, rising from $175.41 […]
In Montana, Montana Renewables (MRL), in collaboration with Calumet Montana Refining (CMR), has commissioned onsite blending and shipping facilities to offer a nominal 50/50 blend of renewable and fossil jet fuel certified under ASTM D7566 and ASTM D1655 specifications. This finished product is drop-in compatible with all existing systems and will initially be distributed through […]
In Germany, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) published the first ReFuelEU Aviation Annual Technical Report, laying out the initial picture of how SAF are being supplied, purchased and used across the European Union (EU). The findings establish a baseline: in 2024, the fuel suppliers reported that 0.6% of all aviation fuel supplied at […]
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that Kenya Airways has successfully completed its first flight powered by 50% SAF on the Nairobi–Cape Town route. The SAF used for the journey was produced from Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) feedstocks, derived from waste materials such as used cooking oil. According to the airline, the fuel was […]
In Hong Kong, AeroTime reported that Willie Walsh, Director General of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has expressed concern about the way airlines are made to carry most of the burden of the European Union’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandate. Speaking at the 3rd IATA World Sustainability Symposium, which took place in Hong Kong, […]
