US Carrier Takes Step Towards Low-Carbon Aviation With Electro Sustainable Fuel
American Airlines has successfully used electro sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) on a commercial passenger flight, marking a significant milestone in the adoption of low-carbon aviation fuels. The eSAF, produced by Infinium, was delivered to Corpus Christi International Airport and used on an American Eagle Embraer E175 flight from Corpus Christi to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The fuel reduces lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by over 90% compared to conventional jet fuel. American has signed an agreement to purchase commercial volumes of eSAF from Infinium’s Project Roadrunner plant, which is expected to begin production in 2027. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
