Hailing from the Netherlands, GAFT - Sustainable Aviation Fuel Technology plans to scale the supply of carbon negative sustainable aviation fuel through the production of a clean 'used cooking oil' substitute from carbon dioxide. Even though Singapore has the most ambitious sustainable aviation plan, the biggest challenge getting there is the lack of sufficient feedstock. There is not enough used cooking and waste fats. Essentially, as GAFT CEO Frank Schreurs puts it, we "fly more than fry.” When Shen Ye (沈晔), Director, TRIREC asked about the proprietary technology behind their electrolysis and fermentation (GAFT has their own proprietary microorganism!), Martin Spencer, VP Business Development, GAFT, proudly shared that they own both of them in their entirety. Any partners involved only help to advance their effectiveness. When asked about their competitive advantage beyond price, Spencer explained that their SAF product is liquid, which is easy to store.

Humanity's quest for sustainable flying - 3 promising solutions Aviation is one of our most important modes of transport. But there’s a problem: It’s not sustainable. Going forward, we have two options. Option 1: Make flying sustainable Option 2: Stop flying at all… Option 2 sounds simple but for obvious reasons… … here are 3 ways we’re achieving option 1: 1. 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 Lufthansa has 2 aircrafts which are almost identical. But with one critical difference… One of the aircrafts uses 30% less fuel than the other. How is this possible? Because it uses advanced materials like graphene. And it’s been used to re-engineer individual components. This makes the aircraft a lot lighter… 2. 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝘃𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗹 What fuels our airplanes today? ↳ It all started with fossil fuels. ↳ And we’re still using fossil fuels. But there are more exciting fuels being explored right now. We can turn all of these energy sources into liquid fuel: ↳ Biomass ↳ Electricity ↳ Sunlight How can sunlight be turned into liquid fuel? Here’s how: ↳ Find a large field ↳ Put 100s of mirrors on it ↳ Using the mirrors, direct the sunlight towards a reactor ↳ A synthetic gas is introduced into the reactor, where it undergoes reactions ↳ This gas is then further processed into liquid hydrocarbons 3. 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 From the dawn of civilization, humans have crafted tools inspired by nature Thousands of years later, this trend has far from stopped… ↳ Sharks have a special skin that helps them swim efficiently through water ↳ This is almost the same as an aircraft carving up the air in front of it. ↳ Thanks to aircrafts with “shark skin” we now save tonnes of fuel. —------------------ Derived from an insightful talk by Erin Beilharz at PUZZLE X 2023 Erin Beilharz is... ↳ Managing Director of the Lufthansa Group CleanTech Hub ↳ A leader in aviation innovation with a focus on sustainability and advanced technologies. She is making a huge impact in the aviation industry by— Shifting from traditional practices to sustainable, advanced technologies. This cuts emissions, boosts efficiency, and inspires further innovation. Interested in staying up-to-date with sustainable aviation trends? Follow XPANSE and hit the 🔔 to be the first one to know.

As technology companies continue to shape our future, their impact on the planet cannot be overlooked. Data centres account for nearly 3% of the world's electricity consumption each year - that’s equivalent to the entire aviation industry! It’s understandable that these organisations face increasing scrutiny regarding their sustainability efforts. Embracing sustainable practices is not just a responsibility; it’s an opportunity for innovation and growth. That’s why Numata takes it seriously and is committed to sustainable IT practices. We care about our impact on the environment, as well as our partners and clients. By prioritising sustainability, we aim to lead by example and drive meaningful change in the industry. #Change #SustainableBusiness #SustainableIT #Insights

#6FOR6 ClimateTech Company Series 🌍 It’s six months until COP29 and six years until 2030. To mark this, we are sharing the six #ClimateTech companies that could help reach #NetZero. The sixth #ClimateTech is Turntide Technologies, which develops electrification and sustainable operations in logistics, construction, warehouses, mobility, and commercial buildings. #ClimateTech #NetZero 🤔 Why’s it important? The global sales of trucks and buses has doubled in 15 years - HDVs account for over 40% of on-road nitrogen oxide emissions, over 60% of on-road particulate matter and more than 20% of black carbon (soot) emissions. Their electric vehicle components for commercial vehicles help solve this. Their Smart Motor System for commercial buildings help reduce the some 117 million metric tons of greenhouse gasses released by air conditioners every year. These motors will also help decarbonise the global industrial motor market, which is growing fast - forecast to reach USD 25.9 Billion in 2032. Their materials handling motors and robotics reduce the significant carbon footprint of warehouses, which contribute up to 13% of carbon emissions from logistics. #COP29 #Mobility 💡 Are they innovators? Yes, because their technologies are applicable across a huge range of industries multiplying their impact. And they hold several important patents across these industries. Additionally, Statista recognises Turntide as a leader in reducing environmental impact. #ClimateInnovation #Decarbionisation 🤷♀️Does this bring down GHG?? 💨 Their tech tackles route causes of carbon emissions and applies it to different industries, catering to a broad spectrum of power needs As well as producing useful tech, they're business is financially strong and they work with huge multinational corporations like BMW and JCB.

As the US works on sustainable aviation fuel tax credits, sustainability experts are curious about the airline industry's potential to create a big market for oil seeds. Will agtech help producers meet production requirements and prove sustainability? In our latest episode, Sarah Nolet sat down with Cristine Handel, Global Sustainability Officer at Valent BioSciences, Fractional COO at New West Genetics, and Former COO at CoverCress Inc., to tackle topics including: 🌱 The past, future, and challenges of new crops in ag markets. ⛽ The future of sustainable aviation fuel…and whether it’s sustainable 🌍 The unintended consequences, both good and bad, of building new value chains 

In an opinion piece for the Financial Times’ dedicated sustainability platform, Sustainable Views, our CEO Jason Cheng argues that sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is the key near and mid-term decarbonisation pathway for aviation. With mandatory blending targets set to drive significant demand growth in the coming years, there is a pressing need for producers to scale production. Despite the challenges involved in scaling a newer technology, policymakers, industry and corporations are increasingly recognising the role of SAF in decarbonising aviation and taking decisive action.
