Alcohol-to-Jet (AtJ) process can help deliver sustainable flying

Alcohol-to-Jet (AtJ) process can help deliver sustainable flying

Sustainable flying is increasingly likely to become a reality with the introduction of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). In September 2023 the Europen Parliament approved the bloc’s Sustainable Aviation Fuel mandates in the push to dramatically cut aviation emissions. There is a growing demand for action as the legal framework and SAF quota commitments by the airlines begin to take shape. The Alcohol-to-Jet (AtJ) process is one of several production options. You can find out exactly how it works and what advantages it offers here.

SAF from Haltermann Carless contributes to more climate-neutral aviation

SAF from Haltermann Carless contributes to more climate-neutral aviation

The transportation sector is changing - and what has long been an essential part of research and development in the automotive sector is now increasingly finding its way into aviation: sustainable solutions to reduce CO2 emissions. Alternative fuels, so-called Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), play an important role in this context and are a significant driver for GHG emission reduction in aviation. Read here how tangible this forward-looking topic already is and the pioneering role that Haltermann Carless is playing.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel: Important driver for sustainable flying

Sustainable Aviation Fuel: Important driver for sustainable flying

Mobility has always been part of human visions and ideas, as well as a decisive driver for progress. Aviation plays a particular role in this and there is now no destination in the world that cannot be reached in 24 hours. However, air travel represents a huge challenge if we wish to ensure the protection of our climate. To make flying more sustainable, new technologies, alternative aviation fuels and new concepts are being pursued. Read more about the developments towards sustainable flying.

Interview: Dr Harald Dialer talks to Global Energy Solutions about SAF

Interview: Dr Harald Dialer talks to Global Energy Solutions about SAF

How can climate neutrality be achieved for the whole world over the next 50 years without limiting prosperity? Global energy solutions as possible paths to climate neutrality - this is what the association Global Energy Solutions wants to achieve. As a pioneer of sustainable chemicals and fuels, we are pleased to have been invited for an interview on the subject of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Dr Harald Dialer, our Chief Commercial Officer, talks about current developments, our goal to be the first commercial producer of SAF in Germany and explains why ramping up SAF production is such a challenge.

ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation targets increased SAF usage

ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation targets increased SAF usage

Sustainabile Aviation Fuels have gained considerable momentum in the aviation industry in recent times, due to their potential as a drop-in replacement for conventional fossil aviation fuels. Interest is also supported by the lack of sustainable alternatives with hydrogen or electric powered aircraft deemed unfeasbile and not financially viable in the short term. The European Union have underlined their focus on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) through the Green Deal and underpinned this with clear numbers and mandates in the ReFuelEU Aviation draft regulations. What, though, exactly does the draft regulation mean and what impact could it have on the SAF market in the coming years? Find out more here.

SAF: Which feedstocks can be used for sustainable aviation fuels?

SAF: Which feedstocks can be used for sustainable aviation fuels?

Without Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), a short-term reduction of CO2 emissions in aviation is not feasible. The European Green Deal and the subsequent Fit for 55 package therefore focuses on the increased use of biofuels in aviation. In the framework of these packages, the raw materials used in production are generally classified under the term ‘generations’ But what precisely is the meaning behind this classification? Find out more about the different feedstocks and future trends.

Sustainable Aviation Fuels – a solution to make flying climate-neutral

Sustainable Aviation Fuels – a solution to make flying climate-neutral

In modern aviation, the awareness of the importance of sustainability and environmental protection is increasing. With growing passenger numbers, high air freight volumes and rising oil prices, alternatives to fossil jet fuel and solutions for reducing CO2 emissions are increasingly in demand. Alternative fuels, so-called Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), are a crucial step towards climate-neutral air travel. Learn more about the different technical solutions and the approaches that are already a reality.

Interview with Speyer plant manager: Site with a promising future

Interview with Speyer plant manager: Site with a promising future

Haltermann Carless' production site in Speyer has a long history and a promising future. This is due to its strategically favourable location in the heart of Europe, a strong product portfolio, permanent investments in modern technologies and committed employees. The manufacturing plant, which has been in operation since July 1965, has constantly advanced and embraced future trends. At the time of its foundation, modern technologies such as valve bottoms or air-cooled condensation were used and a biological wastewater treatment plant was put into operation. Now the production site is again taking important steps towards the future: for more sustainability and clear customer added value.
