In Malaysia, DHL Express has signed an agreement with Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), the parent company of Malaysia Airlines, for the use of DHL’s GoGreen Plus service. The partnership enables MAG to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions linked to its time-definite international shipments through investment in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) used within DHL’s air network. […]
In California, as airlines work to reduce emissions while maintaining operational efficiency with existing aircraft and infrastructure, a critical barrier to 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) adoption has been overcome. Independent testing by Washington State University has validated that Universal Fuel Technologies’ (Unifuel) Flexiforming technology successfully converts HEFA-derived naphtha into synthetic aromatic kerosene that, when […]
In Germany, more than 5% of Lufthansa Group passengers have chosen a more sustainable travel option in 2025 – for example, the Green Fares flight fares. Four years ago, this share was below 0.1 percent. Last year, the volume of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) sold across various offerings more than doubled. Passengers’ active commitment to […]
In Sweden, Swedavia continues to support the aviation industry’s transition by inviting other stakeholders to participate in its annual procurement of sustainable aviation fuel, SAF. The procurement aims to promote more sustainable business travel. In the most recent round, Luleå Municipality and Aviator were new participants. SOS Alarm took part for the sixth consecutive year. […]
In Germany, Siemens and the cleantech company CAPHENIA have entered a partnership to scale the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel. As preferred automation and digitalization partner, Siemens will provide digitalization and automation solutions for CAPHENIA’s plasma technology, which converts bio-methane into synthesis gas. The goal is a standardized concept that enables the global rollout of […]
In the UK, Kent collaborated with Equilibrion during the successful bid for funding from the UK Department for Transport’s Advanced Fuels Fund (AFF). With funding now secured for the Equilibrion and its partners, Kent is delivering the Pre-Front-End Engineering Design (Pre-FEED) for Eq.flight, an advanced power-to-liquids (PtL) Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) demonstration plant. Eq.flight aims […]
In the Netherlands, SkyNRG has reached financial close for its SAF production facility DSL-01 at the Delfzijl chemical park in the north of the Netherlands. Once operational, it will produce 100,000 metric tons of SAF each year and 35,000 tons of sustainable by-products including biobased propane, butane, and naphtha. The plant will make use of […]
In the UK, Clean Planet Technologies will commission the world’s first pilot facility dedicated to converting hard-to-recycle waste plastics into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in April. The facility will demonstrate Clean Planet Technologies’ proprietary, patented Plastics-to-SAF (P2SAF) process at pilot scale. It is designed to support fuel testing and validation, and to enable progression through the ASTM […]
