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 […]
In United Arab Emirates, TotalEnergies, Masdar and Siemens Energy signed a collaboration agreement to act as co-developers on green hydrogen project which aims to establish a demonstrator plant at Masdar City for green hydrogen production to convert carbon dioxide into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Having joined the initiative, the aim now is that TotalEnergies will […]
In the UAE, researchers at Masdar Institute and Qatar University found the Integrated Seawater Energy Agriculture System can produce aviation biofuels, electricity, and food while afforesting coastal desert land, acting as a long-term sink for carbon, minimizing freshwater consumption, and having beneficial land use impacts when compared to fossil jet fuel production. Based on a […]
In the Emirates, the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology and Tadweer, the Center of Waste Management – Abu Dhabi have inked a two-year R&D pact to explore imporvemtns in tehcnologies for the conversion of waste cooking oil to biodiesel. The groups will be joined in the project by Australia’s Laboratory for Turbulence Research in […]
In the United Arab Emirates, Boeing, Etihad Airways, Takreer, Total, and the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology have announced a collaboration for sustainable aviation biofuels in the UAE. The collaboration, BIOjet Abu Dhabi: Flight Path to Sustainability, will develop a comprehensive framework for a UAE biofuel supply chain, which is already in motion. Etihad […]
In the United Arab Emirates, the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology are setting up a demonstration farm aimed at producing sustainable jet fuels, and have purchased 200 hectares of coastal land to grow mangroves as biomass. Without freshwater, the country is researching sustainable salt-water biofuel solutions.“The aviation industry has set for itself a target […]
In the UAE, Masdar Institute of Science and Technology has presented data on the UAE’s export potential in the biofuels-from-algae sector to delegates from the Algae World MENA2013 Conference, Seminar, and Summit. Dr. Hector H. Hernandez, Assistant Professor, Chemical Engineering program, Masdar Institute, said: “The algae available in the UAE desert is unique because it […]
In the United Arab Emirates, the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology has been developing a demonstration farm in Abu Dhabi for producing sustainable jet fuel. The project is hoping to acquire 200 hectares of land to grow oilseed plants to convert into biofuels using relatively little water. The project is being funded by Etihad […]
In the United Arab Emirates, Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, the Boeing Company, Etihad Airways, and Honeywell’s UOP announced completion of a Sustainability Assessment of the Integrated Seawater Agriculture System production of aviation biofuels and other bioresources. This study makes a significant contribution to current knowledge on the viability of using salt-tolerant plants irrigated […]
