- The University of Sheffield has announced a major milestone in the development of greener aviation, as it produces its first unique, in-depth report from testing a new sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
- The research paves the way for greener getaways, bringing more low-carbon flights a step closer for everyday travel, from city breaks to long-haul holidays
- The research could also boost UK SAF production and help to shield UK jet fuel supplies from the effects of future geopolitical events, such as the crisis in the Middle East
- Sheffield's UK-first facility combines fuel testing with in-depth academic analysis to speed up the development of low-carbon jet fuels
The University of Sheffield has announced a major milestone in the push for greener aviation, as it produces its first report from testing a new sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
The research, from Sheffield's Energy Innovation Centre, is helping support the faster rollout of low-carbon jet fuels, so more people can enjoy greener flights when taking a city break, summer holiday or travelling for business. The work could also help to ease the pressure on the future supply of jet fuel in response to geopolitical events, such as the ongoing crisis in the Middle East, by boosting UK SAF production.
Sheffield's Energy Innovation Centre is supporting UK fuel producers in developing new sustainable aviation fuel to reduce the environmental impact of air travel.
