Andreea Moyes, Air bp’s global aviation sustainability director, gives the low down on sustainable aviation fuel
The use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is on the rise, but what is it exactly? SAF stands for sustainable aviation fuel
It’s produced from sustainable feedstocks and is very similar in its chemistry to traditional fossil jet fuel
What is the ICAO vision for sustainable aviation fuels?
2050 ICAO VISION - the Second ICAO Conference on Aviation and Alternative Fuels (CAAF/2) was held in October 2017 in Mexico City, Mexico
It endorsed the 2050 ICAO Vision for Sustainable Aviation Fuels, which calls on States, industry and other stakeholders for a significant proportion of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) use by 2050
What role does EASA play in promoting sustainable aviation fuels?
EASA is involved in various activities to facilitate the uptake of SAF within the aviation industry
What is the European Union (EU) doing to incentivise the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels and which role will EASA play?
Save aviation fuel
Fuel formed over millions of years from dead plants and animals
A fossil fuel is a hydrocarbon-containing material such as coal, oil, and natural gas, formed naturally in the Earth's crust from the remains of dead plants and animals that is extracted and burned as a fuel. Fossil fuels may be burned to provide heat for use directly, to power engines, or to generate electricity. Some fossil fuels are refined into derivatives such as kerosene, gasoline and propane before burning. The origin of fossil fuels is the anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing organic molecules created by photosynthesis. The conversion from these materials to high-carbon fossil fuels typically require a geological process of millions of years.
Opal (fuel)
Opal is a variety of low-aromatic 91 RON petrol developed in 2005 by BP Australia to combat the rising use of petrol as an inhalant in remote Indigenous Australian communities.
