#Sustainable Aviation Fuel
The agreement marks a collaboration between the two companies focusing on sustainable aviation fuels, green hydrogen and direct air capture technologies
The entities will jointly conduct a feasibility study for the region’s first project to produce sustainable aviation fuel using renewable hydrogen and municipal solid waste
Flight EY871 departed Tokyo Narita airport at 3pm on Thursday, October 27
The airline will be uplifting 5 million US gallons of neat SAF every year and will blend it with its existing supply of conventional jet fuel
The flight, which will be operated by Etihad’s Boeing 787 Greenliner, will leverage SAF Book & Claim systems in partnership with World Energy to overcome SAF logistical and infrastructure challenges
Currently approved for use is a blend of petroleum-based Jet A or Jet A-1 fuel and a SAF component with a maximum blend limit of 50 per cent
The plant will have the potential to transform up to four million tonnes of municipal solid waste every year into sustainable aviation fuel
