The\u00a0 flight took off from Dubai International Airport (DXB) with one of four engines powered on 100% SAF, helping demonstrate its potential as a drop-in replacement that matches jet fuel\u2019s technical and chemical requirements, while being a more sustainable alternative. SAF can reduce carbon emissions by up to 85% over the fuel\u2019s life cycle when compared to conventional jet fuel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The 100% drop-in SAF used on 22 November\u2019s flight includes renewable aromatics and closely mimics the characteristics of conventional jet fuel. This is the first time that drop-in SAF has been used on an A380 aircraft, with the expectation of full compatibility across the aircraft\u2019s existing systems. The flight carried four tons of SAF, comprised of HEFA-SPK provided by Neste (hydro processed esters and fatty acids synthetic paraffinic kerosene) and HDO-SAK from Virent (hydro deoxygenated synthetic aromatic kerosene). ENOC helped to secure the neat SAF comprised of HEFA-SPK, and blended it\u00a0 with Sustainable Aviation Kerosene (SAK) at its facility in Dubai International Airport ahead of the demonstration, and also carried out into-plane services.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The 100% SAF was used in one Engine Alliance GP7200 engine, while conventional jet fuel was used in the other three engines. The PW980 auxiliary power unit (APU) from Pratt &amp; Whitney Canada also ran on 100% SAF.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaco.org\/media-center\/news\/aaco-members\/emirates-worlds-first-airline-to-operate-a380-demonstration-flight-with-100percent-sustainable-aviation-fuel\"> Emirates<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air aviation news- Emirates has become the world\u2019s first airline to operate an A380 demonstration flight using 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
