Global Bioenergies announced on Wednesday 10 July that it had adapted its process for converting vegetable resources into Sustainable Aviation Fuels (or “SAF” for Sustainable Aviation Fuels in English) to the production of e-SAF, using acetic acid as a resource.

e-SAFs come from the combination of (i) CO and (ii) hydrogen produced from renewable electricity; acetic acid production is feasible from these two elements alone. e-SAFs maximize the impacts of decarbonization and represent an alternative to bio-SAFs, which are based on the use of plant resources for their production. SAF and e-SAF are regulated by the European Union RefuelEU Aviation regulations style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style”, "serif">. The e-SAF approach developed by Global Bioenergies style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style”, "serif"> is differentiated by a selectivity of more than 95%, which means that more than 95% of the molecules derived from The process can be marketed as aeronautical fuel. This selectivity exceeds that of other existing e-SAF technologies
