Airbus supports greater use of SAF
Airbus and Masdar explore DAC for SAF
Joint project aims to develop production of sustainable fuels by combining direct air capture and green hydrogen
Aerospace group Airbus and Emirati renewables developer Masdar have agreed to co-operate on the development of synthetic sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production by combining direct air capture (DAC) technology with green hydrogen. The use of SAF based on green hydrogen and CO₂ from DAC is estimated to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 95pc when compared with conventional jet fuel, the two companies say. “SAF is one of the best solutions for reducing the aviation sector’s carbon footprint, and this agreement will support in advancing its much-needed development and growth,” says Mikail Houari, president of Airbus Africa and Middle East. 95pc – GHG reduction achieved by SAF T
