EcoCeres, partners pilot integrated SAF model in China
In Bulgaria, Renewables Now reported that Hong Kong-based renewable fuels producer EcoCeres said it has launched a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) pilot program in mainland China, demonstrating a closed-loop SAF model across production, blending, flight use and environmental credit certification.
The company is partnering on the initiative, called Project Spark, with The Second Research Institute of Civil Aviation Administration of China (CASRI), China National Aviation Fuel Group (CNAF), China Southern Airlines, Air China Cargo, Sichuan Airlines and Huarong Chemical, according to the report.
EcoCeres explained that on March 16, SAF produced at its Zhangjiagang facility and blended by CNAF was used to refuel multiple commercial flights at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport. Environmental credits were also transferred via AnchorTrace, a Scope 3 SAF environmental credit registration and retirement platform developed by CNAF and CASRI, the report added.
