Pratt & Whitney sign MOU with Embraer to study 100% SAF

In Connecticut, Pratt & Whitney announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Embraer to collaborate on studies of 100% sustainable aviation fuel. Technical teams from the two companies will engage to define an integrated ground and flight test plan for 100% SAF in a GTF-powered Embraer E195-E2 aircraft. 

The initiative reflects Pratt & Whitney’s and Embraer’s shared commitment to supporting the aviation industry’s ambitious environmental goals, including the goal of reaching net zero CO2 emissions for air travel by 2050. Alongside efforts to continually improve aircraft and engine efficiency, SAFs have a critical role to play towards decarbonizing air travel by reducing dependence on fossil-based fuels.
