KRICT Develops Process to Convert Landfill Gas into Sustainable Aviation Fuel
Researchers at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) have developed a process to convert landfill gas from organic waste into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), demonstrating the technology's viability with a pilot facility capable of producing 100 kilograms of SAF daily. In collaboration with Intocore Technology, KRICT's end-to-end process offers a practical solution for the aviation sector to reduce carbon emissions, as SAF generated from waste significantly lowers emissions compared to traditional jet fuel.

Researchers at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) have successfully demonstrated the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from landfill gas derived from organic waste. A pilot facility, covering 100 square meters, can produce approximately 100 kilograms of SAF daily, confirming the technology's viability.
KRICT partnered with Intocore Technology to create an end-to-end process that captures landfill gas and converts it into aviation fuel, providing a valuable energy resource. This development offers the aviation sector a practical solution to reduce carbon emissions, as SAF from waste materials can significantly lower emissions compared to traditional jet fuel.
