Sustainable aviation fuel technology and infrastructure
Overview
The aviation industry is advancing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) through new infrastructure developments and diverse production technologies.
Initial efforts focused on scaling fuel pathways and infrastructure. Infinium launched its mSAF platform, which uses methane-derived feedstocks like biogas and renewable natural gas to produce low-carbon fuel. In Australia, Viva Energy received $2.39 million from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency to upgrade the Pinkenba Terminal in Brisbane, creating dedicated storage for SAF distribution to Brisbane Airport.
Subsequent developments have seen startups exploring alternative production methods to bypass feedstock shortages. In Canada, Aeon Blue is working to make synthetic fuel commercially viable by adapting saltwater electrolysis and capturing carbon dioxide from the air. Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, Neela Biotech secured £2.1 million in pre-seed funding to transition its technology from the lab to pilot-scale trials, utilizing food, agricultural, and forestry waste to create fuel.
