Le
Bourget, 20
June 2023:
Global Bioenergies' process becomes one of the very few Sustainable
Aviation Fuel (SAF) technologies in the world certified by ASTM
International. Global Bioenergies' fuel can now be blended up
to 50% with fossil kerosene in existing airplanes.
As a reminder, the airline industry requires the
fuel used in airplanes to be ASTM certified. SAF are certified
worldwide through the ASTM D7566 standard, which describes the fuel
specification requirements and the maximum blending percentage with
conventional fuels. This standard allows them to be considered as
'drop-in' fuels, which means they can be used safely in existing
airplanes and infrastructures worldwide. The inclusion of new SAF
production processes in the ASTM standard requires an in-depth
assessment of the fuel's performance, after which a voting
procedure is launched.
The voting process has now been successfully
completed after consultation of the ASTM main committee. The
updated ASTM D7566 standard will be published in the coming
weeks.
Marc Delcourt, Co-founder and CEO of Global
Bioenergies, comments: "This positive vote is a tremendous
recognition for Global Bioenergies and we thank the SkyNRG team for
their great support in this ambitious process over the last years.
It comes at a time when Europe has just adopted the RefuelEU plan,
which aims at gradually increasing the production and incorporation
of SAF, from 2% in 2025 to 6% in 2030 and up to 70% by 2050. To
date, SAF represent only 0.1% of aviation fuels. This ambition is
based on the construction of a very large number of plants. The
target of 2% by 2025 will be reached thanks to emerging
technologies based on waste oil. Subsequent targets will have to be
based on the commercial success of innovative technologies like
ours. »
Maarten van Dijk, Co-founder and Chief
Development Officer at SkyNRG states: “Reaching the SAF
certification for Global Bioenergies’ process is a great
achievement for both our teams and a perfect example of what is
needed to drive innovation and build a more sustainable aviation
industry. To reach net zero emissions, the industry now needs solid
partnerships to realise the increase in production capacity. These
include partners who commit to meaningful SAF offtakes, investors
that recognize the importance of SAF in their portfolio and are
willing to fund projects, and visionary leaders and governments who
recognize and can address the investment hurdles that remain.”
A press conference will
take place on Thursday 22nd June at 10am at the Paris Air Show, at
the Région Ile-de-France chalet (site 102).
