Cemvita公司宣布与美国联合航空公司达成协议, where Cemvita will supply up to 1 billion gallons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from their first full-scale SAF plant.
美联航一直在积极投资SAF生产商和可持续技术. This year alone, United Airlines launched its UAV Sustainable Flight FundSM, a unique investment initiative that leverages support from cross-industry businesses to back start-ups focused on decarbonizing air travel through SAF research, technology, and production.
“美联航是SAF生产投资的全球航空领导者, but we face a real shortage of available fuel and producers,” said Michael Leskinen, United Airlines Ventures President “Cemvita’s technology represents a path forward for a potentially significant supply of SAF, Hga010皇冠软件下载希望这一多达10亿加仑的承购协议只是Hga010皇冠软件下载合作的开始."
Traditionally, 商业化的SAF是从废食用油和农业废弃物中生产出来的, 但Cemvita的突破性技术将彻底改变原料生产. With minimal land, water, and electricity requirements, Cemvita's eCO2 plants offer the potential to not only provide a reliable source of feedstock but also achieve carbon-negative emissions.
Under the agreement, Cemvita is committed to supplying United Airlines with up to 50 million gallons of sustainable aviation fuel annually for the next 20 years, all derived from CO2.
"Our team of passionate, pioneering, 坚持不懈的科学家和工程师们正在创造可持续的生物解决方案,重新定义可能性. We are thrilled to partner with United Airlines in working towards transforming the aviation industry and accelerating the energy transition," said Moji Karimi, CEO of Cemvita.
Sustainable aviation fuel is crucial to both the aviation industry and the energy transition because it enables airlines to significantly reduce their carbon emissions, 使航空旅行更加环保,并为向低碳未来的更广泛转变做出贡献.
