In Germany, Reuters reported that Europe’s aviation sector hit – and may well have surpassed – a 2% mandate for green jet fuel use in 2025. The achievement, previously unreported and due to be confirmed in a report later this year, marks a sharp turnaround from a year earlier when uptake was just 0.6%. Airlines […]
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that BioSeaga Industries and Oiltek have signed an agreement to set up a $350 million sustainable aviation fuel plant in Sabah, Malaysia. The proposed facility will have a planned capacity of about 300 metric tons per day and will use palm oil mill effluent (POME) and used cooking oil (UCO) […]
In the UK, the University of Sheffield reported that a new way of making sustainable aviation fuel that could cut the reliance on used cooking oil as a feedstock, has been developed by a team of engineers led by the University of Sheffield. The new technique captures CO2 from the air, combines it with hydrogen […]
In Australia, Australian Rural & Regional News reported that Energy Estate (EE) and Queensland Cane Agriculture and Renewables (QCAR) have formalized a strategic affiliation to advance the BioNQ Project in North Queensland, positioning sugarcane as a critical solution to Australia’s fuel security challenge. The BioNQ Project is designed to harness currently untapped agricultural resources and […]
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that Austrian Airlines is strengthening its push toward SAF adoption by improving fuel efficiency through a shark skin-inspired technology on its long-haul aircraft. The airline has applied AeroShark film to its Boeing 777-200ER fleet, helping reduce drag and lower fuel consumption. The modification, tested on four aircraft, has resulted in […]
In Sweden, Aviator Airport Alliance, the largest independent ground handling provider in the Nordics and part of Avia Solutions Group, has joined Swedavia’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) procurement initiative. Through this initiative, Aviator Sweden has reduced approximately 50% of emissions from its business travel in 2025. “As part of our continued climate efforts, we at […]
In Germany, German cleantech company INERATEC and the French industrial group TERTU have formed the joint venture T.H2, marking a major step toward the development of a common synthetic fuel production plant to be located near Caen in Normandy. The plant will be developed within the “BELair” project, for which the partners are preparing an […]
In the UK, Green Air News reported that European airline CEOs meeting in Brussels have called on the EU to urgently address rising costs and a growing regulatory burden on the sector, identifying in particular the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) and the impact of ReFuelEU’s sustainable aviation fuel mandate. Trade body Airlines for Europe […]
In Texas, XCF Global issued a statement on the ongoing disruption to global aviation fuel markets caused by the Middle East conflict. As jet fuel and SAF prices surge to historic levels, XCF Global is sharing its perspective on what the current crisis reveals about the structural vulnerabilities of petroleum-dependent aviation fuel supply chains and […]
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that JFE Engineering Corporation has partnered with University of Toyama to develop a new catalyst aimed at improving the production of sustainable aviation fuel. The catalyst is used in Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, a process that converts carbon monoxide and hydrogen into liquid fuels. By improving on earlier work led by Professor […]
