Flying Greener: Why synthetic jet fuels are the future of air travel

Flight has fundamentally connected people, cultures, and economies around the world. However, the aviation industry is one of the largest contributors to global carbon dioxide emissions. As a result, the industry is turning to viable methods, such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This shift towards e-fuels has the potential to revolutionise the aviation industry, leading to reduced emissions, improved air quality and a more sustainable future for air travel.

The Australian Academy of Science reports on greenhouse gas removal in Australia

The Australian Academy of Science convened a roundtable of experts to discuss emissions reduction along with creative solutions that would ensure a healthier planet. Included was Professor Deanna D’Alessandro, showcasing our leading Direct Air Capture technology. It is clear that Australia’s resources and research capabilities make an ideal location for greenhouse gas removal, and SGG is well-positioned at the forefront of innovation.

New grant to help develop aviation fuels

In the beginning of November 2022 Southern Green Gas welcomed the news that we would receive a $1 million grant from the NSW Environmental Trust. The funds will be used to develop a solar powered e-kerosene production module, based on our existing foundational green technology, to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) which is in high demand. We send our gratitude to the Minister for Energy Matt Kean and the NSW Environmental Trust.

How SGGs Next Generation Carbon Capture Tech Works

The team at SGG learnt early on that what was accepted as the textbook method for using metal organic frameworks (MOFs) to extract carbon dioxide out of the air just wasn’t going to work in reality. This lead to the development of new technology headed by Rohan Gillespie and Professor Deanna D’Alessandro.
