HIF Global and Airbus Partner to Develop Revolutionary e-Sustainable Aviation Fuel
Key Ideas
  • HIF Global and Airbus signed a MoU to advance e-Sustainable Aviation Fuel (e-SAF) development at the Farnborough Air Show.
  • The collaboration aims to reduce net CO2 emissions in the aviation sector by utilizing e-Fuels made from renewable sources.
  • e-SAF, produced from recycled CO2 and green hydrogen, will play a crucial role in the industry's transition to net zero emissions.
  • HIF Global is progressing towards establishing e-SAF production facilities based on the methanol to jet fuel synthesis, targeting sustainable aviation fuel production.
HIF Global and Airbus have joined forces to drive the global development of e-Sustainable Aviation Fuel (e-SAF) as part of efforts to combat climate change in the aviation industry. The Memorandum of Understanding signed at the Farnborough Air Show in England outlines key workstreams for technical, project development, commercial, and advocacy areas. The collaboration focuses on utilizing e-Fuels produced from renewable electricity, water, and recycled carbon dioxide to significantly lower CO2 emissions from aviation activities. Clara Bowman, Chief Operating Officer of HIF Global, highlighted the critical need for sustainable aviation fuels in light of the projected doubling of aviation activity by 2030. e-SAF, characterized by combining recycled CO2 and green hydrogen, is set to enable existing airplanes to use sustainable fuels without engine modifications. HIF Global's plans include establishing e-SAF production facilities based on the methanol to jet fuel synthesis, with preliminary engineering agreements already in place for the first facility in the United States. The partnership between HIF Global and Airbus represents a significant step towards accelerating the adoption of e-SAF and driving the aviation industry towards net zero emissions.
