Converting organic waste into sustainable aviation fuel.
The innovative GreenFlexJET project used a diverse range of organic waste feedstocks for the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The process improved economic viability and overall sustainability by processing waste close to its source and at a scale aligned with local waste availability.
It was the first technology to use green hydrogen derived from waste feedstocks in the refining process, thereby maximising greenhouse gas savings. The project provided clear technical and economic validation through the construction of a pre-commercial demonstration plant delivering high-quality SAF.
GreenFlexJET delivered a concrete blueprint for the production and distribution of this novel SAF technology, serving as a showcase to support the achievement of medium- and long-term carbon reduction targets set for the aviation industry in Europe and beyond.
