American Airlines And Infinium Achieve Low-Carbon Milestone
American Airlines and Infinium have successfully powered a commercial passenger flight with sustainable aviation fuel, or eSAF. The fuel, made from waste CO₂ and renewable electricity, was mixed with regular jet fuel and meets current standards for aircraft engines. This achievement marks a significant moment for aviation, as it demonstrates the potential for next-generation technologies like eSAF to reduce emissions and strengthen the industry’s competitiveness. According to Tomorrow’s World Today, Infinium is building a facility to produce over 5 million gallons of eSAF annually.
