Airbus to boost sustainable aviation fuel production through investment in LanzaJet

Stuart Mitchell

Airbus is investing in LanzaJet, a leading sustainable fuels technology company and producer, in line with its ambition to act as a catalyst for the global development of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). This investment will support the development of the Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ) pathway, an important step required to produce SAF at scale by enabling LanzaJet to further expand its capability and capacity to scale its proprietary Ethanol to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) process technology. “Sustainable aviation fuels are one of the most important levers available to decarbonise aviation, but their…

Innovative aviation liquid hydrogen project launched

Stuart Mitchell

An innovative aviation hydrogen handling and refuelling project, led by Airbus and supported by academic partners, airport operators and leading hydrogen-industry companies, has been launched to demonstrate small-scale liquid hydrogen aircraft ground operations at three European airports. The urge to decarbonise our economy and to develop Europe’s energy independence is leading to a major trend of hydrogen for mobility and stationary applications. Hydrogen will also be a solution to decarbonise short- and medium-haul aviation and will be crucial for the advancement of low-carbon aviation operations. “The GOLIAT (Ground Operations of…

Airbus: Watering hope for tomorrow

Stuart Mitchell

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 aims to provide safe drinking water and adequate sanitation for all. To help meet this goal, in addition to reducing water use on its sites, Airbus participates in projects to build water infrastructure and secure clean water access and improved sanitation in underserved communities. Access to water and sanitation are recognised by the United Nations (UN) as human rights – fundamental to everyone’s health, dignity and prosperity. Yet, according to UN data, 2.2 billion people still live without access to drinking water,…

Airbus and TotalEnergies Sign a Strategic Partnership in Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Stuart Mitchell

Airbus and TotalEnergies have signed a strategic partnership to meet the challenges of aviation decarbonization with sustainable aviation fuel. In line with the objective of achieving net carbon neutrality of aviation by 2050, this partnership aims to contribute to the reduction of the sector’s CO2 emissions, in which Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) play a key role. SAF supplied by TotalEnergies can reduce up to 90% CO2 emissions over lifecycle compared to their fossil fuel equivalent. The partnership will cover two main areas: TotalEnergies will supply Airbus with sustainable aviation fuel…
