Airbus executed a test flight with an A350 airplane, fueled with 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The test flight is part of a project that tries to understand the emission performance of SAF. The project partners are Rolls Royce, German-based DLR and Neste. Currently, the ASTM -standards for jet fuel allows for biofuel-blends of up …

Current policy mechanisms have established targets and monitoring frameworks for low carbon fuels and improved car engine performance but have not yet been adequate to facilitate the market uptake of advanced biofuels. Their efficient market roll-out must be immediate if the 2030 targets are to be met. A new paper – by Calliope Panoutsou et al, recently published on …
Turning low value crude bio-liquids into sustainable roads transport fuels, that is the objective of the new EBIO project. The project is funded by the Horizon2020 programme of the European Commission. The project started on the 7th of December 2020 and will run for 4 years. It’s totale budget is around 4 million euro. University …
North-C-Methanol is the first large scale demonstrator project of North-CCU-Hub. It consists of an electrolyser plant with a power of 63 MW, splitting water in green hydrogen and oxygen, using renewable energy from off-shore wind. Oxygen will be used locally in the steel industry. Green hydrogen will be combined with captured CO2, originating from industrial …

Whatever you open today: newspaper, twitter, LinkedIn, magazine – currently hydrogen is in the spotlight, often presenting it as the energy carrier of the future. The industrial sector, especially refineries and the chemical sector, is already a major consumer. The climate agreement also sees opportunities for replacing gas. For heating homes, making smart use of …
UK researchers have developed a cheap and simple way of creating biofuel and fertiliser from seaweed, whilst removing plastic from the oceans and cleaning up tourist beaches in the Caribbean and Central America. Read the article here. In the Netherlands TNO also executes RD&D in its Seaweed Lab to convert seaweed into valuable products as …

Eindhoven University of Technology is going to lead a 4-year research and development project funded by the EU-Horizon2020 programme to explore the development of renewable maritime fuels. Many ships use heavy fuel oils that contain large amounts of sulphur and nitrogen leading to the emission of greenhouse gases and other damaging substances. The TU/e-led consortium IDEALFUEL seeks to …
