University of Alabama researchers are exploring how to create jet fuel from plants as a renewable fuel source that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Startup Twelve is building the first large-scale factory to make a sustainable aviation jet fuel from captured CO2 in the U.S.

Airlines, including JetBlue and Virgin Atlantic, are starting to buy carbon-neutral jet fuel developed by Air Company.

Sustainable aviation fuel has become a buzzy phrase, but, in some cases, it could be responsible for more emissions than the conventional version.

A new study reveals a realistic pathway to cleaning up our air travels.

Researchers at three institutions—NREL, MIT, and Washington State University—report success in using lignin as a path toward a drop-in 100% sustainable aviation fuel. Other parts of plants are used for biofuels, but lignin has been largely overlooked because of the difficulties in breaking it down chemically and converting it into useful products.

European scientists have achieved a major success on the road to energy production through fusion plasmas: They produced stable plasmas with 59 megajoules of energy output at the world's largest fusion facility, JET, in Culham near Oxford, UK.

In the UK, flights are set to be greener as the UK's Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Mandate officially came into force Wednesday. By law, this type of fuel must now make up at least 2% of all jet fuel in flights taking off from the UK from 2025, growing year-on-year to 10% by 2030 and 22% […]

The aviation industry is getting ready to embrace fuel produced by fermentation

Sustainable aviation fuel, meant to target the emission-heavy aviation industry, is set to become the next big biofuel topic on Capitol Hill.

In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Zawya reported that a bioenergy research project in the UAE, which aims to make biofuels from Salicornia plants, is expected to enter the demonstration phase by 2024. According to Alejandro Rios Galvan, Director of the Sustainable Bioenergy Research Consortium (SBRC) said that the 200-acre demonstration facility would include a […]

SAF -- Sustainable Aviation Fuel -- is a new type of jet fuel that promises to curb carbon emissions by 80% on average. But even before Covid hit the industry, airline takeup was slow

In Italy, Rome Fiumicino Airport is increasing the availability of SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel), an aviation biofuel made from renewable raw materials capable of supporting the reduction of CO2 emissions in the aviation sector. The Leonardo da Vinci airport has become the first Italian airport to employ SAF, allowing ITA Airways to use it on […]

In Singapore, The Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to potentially source neat sustainable aviation fuel from Aether Fuels. The agreement outlines the SIA Group's intention to procure neat SAF for five years when Aether plants begin commercial production, with an option for a five-year extension. The neat SAF will […]

Two identical remotely-operated manipulators used to maintain the Joint European Torus fusion energy machine at the Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire, UK, are being tested in a series of practice 'rescue missions', where each saves its stranded twin.

Delta laid out updated climate goals that prioritize replacing fossil fuels by 2050. The plan is to swap out jet fuel with sustainable aviation fuel, a transition that poses new kinds of problems.

In the UK, Travel Weekly reported that the UK Department for Transport (DfT) has promised a call for evidence on aviation sustainability and a second consultation on sustainable aviation fuels. "We'll publish a second consultation on our SAF mandate [and] we'll be publishing a call for evidence shortly," DfT aviation director David Silk said during […]

Industry and government are trying—again—to make biofuels a reality, this time for the airline industry

Less than a fortnight after the final 747 rolled off the assembly line in the US, Rolls-Royce debuted its biggest ever jet engine – just about able to pass...

Step one: Replace your fossil-fuel-powered devices when they break. Step two: Watch coal and gas power plants get replaced by renewables.
