Global Bioenergies delivers SAF to French military for testing

December 7, 2022 |

In France, Global Bioenergies has delivered a 200-liter batch of sustainable aviation fuel for tests commissioned as part of the GENOPTAIRE project funded by the French government defence procurement and technology agency (DGA).

The project, which forms part of the ministry’s defence energy strategy, seeks to promote technological advances in the design and use of military platforms making use of electric-powered transport and alternative fuels.

At the moment, in order to streamline logistics in the armed forces, aviation fuel is used in both aircraft and land vehicles. One of the aims of the GENOPTAIRE project is to identify and assess the impact of biosourced components mixed with conventional aviation fuels on engine performance in land vehicles used by the French Army.
