Airbus, LanzaJet to collaborate on SAF production

Airbus and LanzaJet, a leading sustainable fuels technology company, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The MoU establishes a relationship between Airbus and LanzaJet to advance building SAF facilities which will use LanzaJet’s proprietary Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) technology, says a release from Airbus. "This agreement also aims to accelerate the certification and adoption of 100 percent drop-in SAF which would allow existing aircraft to fly with no fossil fuel. The aviation industry is responsible for approximately 2-3 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions, and SAF has been identified by airlines, governments and energy leaders as one of the most immediate solutions to decarbonise aviation, together with the renewal of fleets by latest generation aircraft and better operations."
