In the UK, British Airways will become the first airline in the world to use sustainable aviation fuel produced on a commercial scale in the UK after signing a multi-year agreement with Phillips 66 Limited. Thousands of tons of SAF will be produced for the first time in the UK at the Phillips 66 Humber […]
It was a hot week for sustainable aviation news with Velocys entering a 15-year offtake deal for 575 million blended gallons of net zero SAF to be produced at their planned Bayou Fuels biorefinery project in Mississippi for Southwest Airlines and a 10-year offtake agreement with International Consolidated Airlines Group (which includes British Airways, Aer […]
In the UK, British Airways is investing in sustainable aviation fuel technology provider and SAF producer LanzaJet as the company builds its first commercial scale plant in Georgia, USA. British Airways will purchase SAF from LanzaJet’s US plant to power a number of the airline’s flights from late 2022. The deal also involves LanzaJet conducting […]
Rising stars are coming together as constellations, the stars are aligning and making magical things happen – today we explore 9 of those constellations building around Sustainable Aviation Fuels. Some of them are young protostars in the earliest stage of stellar evolution, while others are like the Earth’s sun, a main-sequence mid-size star, and a […]
In the UK, following last month’s announcement by Velocys that British Airways and Shell invested nearly £3 million in the company, it should come as no surprise that the Telegraph newspaper is reporting that an application for planning permission to build an aviation biofuel production facility near the Humber in North Lincolnshire has been submitted […]
GreenSky London arrived on the scene a few years ago — an ambitious project to produce renewable aviation jet fuel from East London’s trash. The project fell down a rabbit hole of delays. Now, a group of four companies including both British Airways and Velocys are back with a partnership to prepare the business case […]
In the UK, British Airways is jumping back into the MSW-to-aviation biofuel game with a new partnership, this time with Velocys who is already producing fuel with the proposed technology in the US. The project’s aim is to use hundreds of thousands of metric tons of household waste including diapers and plastic food containers to […]
In the UK, British Airways partly blames lack of government support for having to scupper its Green Sky project with Solena to produce 16 million gallons of aviation biofuel annually from London’s MSW beginning in 2017. The government has failed to include aviation biofuels in its Road Transport Fuel Obligation policy that provides incentives for […]
In the UK, Solena’s project to develop a MSW-to-aviation biofuel facility in conjunction with British Airways has been dropped due to the company’s failure to raise the necessary investment to build the plant in light of low oil prices. The company needs $70 per barrel oil prices to be competitive at the proposed 16 million […]
Experts from Solena Fuels, British Airways, the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI), the US Navy, the Federal Aviation Administration, Amyris, Byogy, Gevo, BioProcess Algae, Virent, Mercurius, and ARA were among the highlight presenters at the 5th annual Global Aviation Biofuels Summit, an integrated part of ABLC, the annual bioeconomy conference now underway in Washington, […]
