\u00a0consortium led by Abu Dhabi\u2019s clean energy company\u00a0Masdar\u00a0plans to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from methanol.<\/p>\n
The consortium, which also includes France\u2019s Total Energies and Siemens Energy, is currently focused on SAF from green hydrogen, but is \u201cactively working\u201d with licensors to certify a new production pathway for aviation fuel from methanol, the companies said in a statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Methanol, primarily used to produce chemicals such as acetic acid and formaldehyde, is also a clean-burning fuel that produces fewer smog-causing emissions.<\/p>\n
SAF, considered by the\u00a0aviation industry\u00a0as the most significant contributor to reaching the net zero goal, requires a major boost in production from the current minuscule levels.<\/p>\n
In 2021, airlines globally pledged net-zero carbon emissions from their operations by 2050 \u2014 bringing the air transport industry in line with the objectives of the 2015 Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Airlines are facing pressure from environmental groups to lower their carbon footprint and make operations greener after the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
Last week, Masdar, Siemens Energy and TotalEnergies signed an agreement to develop a demonstrator plant project in Masdar City.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe demonstrator plant will help to establish the commercial viability of green hydrogen as an essential decarbonised fuel of the future and will support Abu Dhabi\u2019s development as a green hydrogen hub,\u201d Mohamed Al Ramahi, chief executive of Masdar, said in an earlier statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the hydrogen market is still at a comparatively early stage, we firmly believe that by working together with international partners on projects such as this, we can help the hydrogen market develop its full potential and it will really take off in the years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
