New Solar-Powered Technique for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Development
A new solar energy-based method for producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has been developed, reducing reliance on used cooking oil. This innovative approach could enable scalable production in five countries, addressing the aviation industry's carbon emissions.

Researchers from the University of Sheffield have created a method for generating sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) using solar energy, potentially reducing the aviation sector's dependence on used cooking oil. The process captures CO2 from the air and uses concentrated solar energy to heat hydrogen and CO2, producing SAF efficiently and sustainably.
Five countries suitable for large-scale SAF production have been identified: USA, Chile, Spain, South Africa, and China, based on sunlight availability and hydrogen costs. This technique may lower production costs to approximately US$4.62 per kg, compared to existing methods. The project aims to enhance SAF sustainability and support circular economy principles by converting atmospheric CO2 into fuel directly on-site.
