Masdar, TotalEnergies, Siemens Energy and Marubeni green hydrogen-to-SAF pathway seeking approval

January 25, 2023 |

In the UAE, the consortium of Masdar, TotalEnergies, Siemens Energy and Marubeni announced that the Masdar-led initiative focused on green hydrogen to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is actively working with licensors to certify a new production pathway for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from methanol. This novel pathway will provide one more option to address the global need to produce and make SAF available globally and help the aviation industry decarbonize.
The consortium has been collaborating with the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy, Etihad Airways, Lufthansa Group, and Khalifa University of Science and Technology, on a demonstration initiative for e-SAF.
Since January 2021, the partners in the initiative have completed a range of evaluations on technology suppliers, feasibility studies and conceptual designs, while working closely with regulators on compliance issues. The consortium has now zoned in on the methanol to jet (MTJ) pathway as its chosen technology route.
