OMV supports research infrastructure for SAF at the Technical University of Leoben
In Austria, OMV AG said it is working with the Technical University of Leoben in the decarbonization of air travel.
The firm said that a research facility has been established at the Chair of Process Technology and Industrial Environmental Protection, where various process routes to manufacture sustainable aviation fuels are being researched and developed. The new infrastructure was made possible thanks to financing from OMV and funding from the Federal Ministry of Innovation, Mobility, and Infrastructure.
Martijn van Koten, OMV Executive Vice President Fuels and Chemicals, said: “Our close partnership with the Technical University of Leoben enables us to tread new paths in fundamental fuel research. Innovation and technology form the foundation of our transition to an integrated sustainable energy, fuels, and chemicals company. Sustainable fuels are a key element of this: they are already facilitating lower-carbon mobility and decisively contributing to our progress toward achieving net zero by 2050.”
