SAF & Chemistry: Chemical Processes and Catalytical Systems in Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production
How can catalysis unlock the full potential of sustainable navigation fuels?
As aviation remains one of the hardest-to-abate industries, catalysis holds the key to reducing carbon emissions at scale. Transforming biogenic feedstocks, waste streams or captured CO₂ into jet-grade fuel requires complex catalytic reactions that make these pathways efficient and economically viable. As without chemical processes and catalytic systems, there would be no production, chemistry is the backbone of SAF.
Our whitepaper sheds light on all major SAF chemical production processes and catalytic systems – from today’s leading HEFA process to Fischer-Tropsch, Alcohol-to-Jet, and emerging Methanol-to-Jet routes – and discusses their respective strengths, challenges and innovation potential.
The white paper covers:
- Introduction to SAF production and its policy context
- Chemistry behind SAF: feedstocks, pathways, catalyst functions
- In-depth discussion of HEFA, Fischer-Tropsch, AtJ, and emerging MtJ
- Outlook on innovation challenges and scaling potential
