Sustainability application of aviation eJet fuel
SAF will be essential to achieving the aviation industry’s ambitious decarbonization targets by 2050. Regulations will play a large part in increasing the share of SAF used in aviation and defining the qualified products. CO2 utilization and bio-SAF have great potential to supplement aviation turbine demands. Combining the production of bio-SAF and CO2-based industrial processes provides advantages regarding the most efficient use of carbon from different sources, with high efficiency and optimized costs.
Power up: Considerations to help understand the potential of cogeneration
Combined heat and power, also known as cogeneration, converts one form of energy to two usable forms, typically heat and power. By simultaneously producing onsite electricity and heat, cogeneration systems can provide reliable energy at reduced overall costs. Cogeneration is a very effective pathway to executing decarbonization strategies when coupled with renewable natural gas or other low-carbon fuels.
