Solaris-based biofuel to be used for O.R. Tambo airport operations

In South Africa, Solaris-based biodiesel will be integrated into the ground-handling operations at O.R.Tambo International Airport. This will support a feasible scale-up of feedstock production and infrastructure such that a fully localized value chain for a Hydro-treated Vegetable Oil (HVO) refinery may be achieved in the coming years, producing bio-jet fuel and green diesel. The next phase will be rolled out in a collaboration between Sunchem, Swissport, The Royal Bafokeng Nation (through implementing entity Moumo Integrated Development) and iLive. This is endorsed by South African Airways (SAA).
