Wagner Sustainable Fuels has started design and construction on a new SAF blending facility at Wellcamp and will work with Boeing to collaborate on growing SAF capabilities to meet rising local airline demand for jet fuel, which is tipped to grow by 75 per cent over the next 25 years.
The fuel, produced at Neste’s Singapore refinery, will be supplied to Air New Zealand at LAX by 30 November after being blended with conventional jet fuel to meet required specifications. The deal is nine times larger than Air New Zealand’s first SAF shipment from Neste in 2022.
The facility in the Latrobe Aerospace Technology Precinct at Latrobe Regional Airport, backed by investment from the Victorian state government, will be used for Dovetail’s goal of retrofitting regional aircraft with batteries and hydrogen fuel cells for zero-emissions aviation.
Project Ulysses, to be built in northern Queensland, aims to produce 102 million litres of alcohol-based SAF and 11 million litres of renewable diesel per year. Jet Zero has now secured investment from Japanese energy conglomerate Idemitsu Kosan as a new strategic shareholder.
Stralis is working with the iMOVE Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) and QUT to install a hydrogen-electric propulsion system (HEPS) into a Beechcraft Bonanza A36 aircraft. The company claims hydrogen planes could transport athletes around Queensland during the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.
Dubbed “Flight100”, flight VS100 aboard the 787-9 G-VDIA departed London Heathrow just before noon local time on Tuesday, arriving at JFK shortly after 2pm local time. The CSIRO has said Australia is in a good position to develop its own domestic SAF industry.
