New Pathway Expands Feedstock Options For Lower Carbon Fuel
The recent approval of the methanol-to-jet pathway by ASTM International is a critical milestone for the sustainable aviation fuel market. This development allows for the conversion of renewable methanol into SAF and electro-sustainable aviation fuel, expanding the feedstock base and potentially accelerating the growth of lower-carbon fuel supply. According to Rajesh Gattupalli, President of Honeywell Technologies UOP, methanol-to-jet technology can link renewable power, hydrogen production, captured carbon, and methanol logistics to a high-value aviation fuel market.
