Honeywell launches tech to produce SAF for aviation, first customer announced

Honeywell announced a new hardware-based solution which aims to turn captured CO2 emissions into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

ESG Today writes that company officials also revealed its first customer which will take advantage of the new technology, HIF Global.

The aviation industry, which is responsible for 2-3% of the global emissions today, needs SAF, as well as other types of fuels and energy storage solutions to decarbonize. EU officials also pressed on this issue recently, as they demand a minimum SAF share of 70% in EU airports by 2050.

Lucian Boldea, President and CEO of Honeywell Performance Materials and Technologies, said that "Honeywell recognizes that creating technologies that use new feedstocks is vital to long-term decarbonization of the aviation sector. The ability to use readily abundant CO2 to produce SAF is a transformational opportunity for this market."

Honeywell officials explained that, compared to traditional kerosene, their version of SAF can reduce emissions by 88% and furthermore, it can be implemented without a change in infrastructure or plane engines.
