SAFII Launches Organization for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Standards

The Sustainable Aviation Fuels Institute Inc. (SAFII) has been established to unite stakeholders in the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) sector, aiming to enhance fuel quality standards and support climate goals in the aviation industry. Concurrently, Norsk e-Fuel, Prime Capital, and RES have announced a collaboration to develop Project Alby in Sweden, which aims to produce 80,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel annually, utilizing the Power-to-Liquid process to convert water and captured CO₂ into e-Kerosene. In Australia, Deakin University’s Hycel has partnered with AMSL Aero to advance hydrogen fuel cell technology for aviation, particularly focusing on the development of a hydrogen-powered eVTOL aircraft called Vertiia. These initiatives reflect a broader industry commitment to reducing aviation emissions and enhancing sustainable practices across the globe. Meanwhile, Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister is urging new suppliers to enter the aviation fuel market to address a significant fuel crisis affecting local airlines, emphasizing the need for reliable fuel sources and competition. Together, these developments illustrate the aviation sector's ongoing transition toward sustainable fuel solutions amid various challenges.
