Taking Flight on a Sustainable Path: Honeywell's Technology Soars for Cleaner Skies

The airline sector is crucial in our interconnected world, but regular jet fuels have a big impact on greenhouse gasses. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) provides a cleaner option and brings hope. Honeywell leads the way with its innovative hydrocracking technology, setting the stage for a greener future in air travel.

Honeywell's Hydrocracking: A Game-Changer for SAF Production

Honeywell's breakthrough is in its advanced hydrocracking technology, particularly the Honeywell FT Unicracking™ process. This method harnesses the power of biomass, which is a sustainable source, to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Let me explain how it operates:

• Unlocking Potential from Biomass: Honeywell FT Unicracking uses easily accessible biomass sources such as excess crops, wood waste, or food scraps to convert them into useful liquids and waxes. These transformed materials are then used as the foundation for sustainable aviation fuel.

• Beyond Traditional Methods: Honeywell's technology expands the choices for producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) by using more plentiful and eco-friendly resources, setting it apart from traditional methods that depend on scarce feedstocks like vegetable oils or animal fats.

• Efficiency and Cost Advantages: Honeywell FT Unicracking is highly efficient, producing 3-5% more sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) than other methods and also reducing waste streams. This leads to cost savings of up to 20%, making the production of SAF more economically feasible.

The environmental and economic benefits of Honeywell's technology are undeniable, offering a win-win solution for the aviation industry and the environment.

Soaring Towards a Greener Horizon: The Environmental Benefits of SAF

The environmental impact of SAF is profound. Here's how it revolutionizes air travel:

• Reduced Carbon Footprint: Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has much less impact on the environment than regular jet fuels. Research shows it can reduce emissions by up to 90%, which helps a lot in reducing greenhouse gasses and fighting climate change.

• Sustainable Alternative: By using renewable biomass, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) provides an eco-friendly substitute for fossil fuels, leading to a more environmentally friendly aviation industry.

• Achieving Sustainability Goals: The extensive use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is crucial for the airline industry's efforts to be more sustainable. It enables airlines to actively decrease their environmental footprint and work towards achieving zero net carbon emissions in the future.

"As demand for SAF continues to grow, the aviation industry is challenged by limited supplies of traditional SAF feedstocks such as vegetable oils, animal fats and waste oils," said Ken West, president and CEO of Honeywell Energy and Sustainability Solutions. "When combined with the existing Fischer-Tropsch process, our new technology will expand the feedstock options available in the industry to sources that are more plentiful, ultimately helping improve our customers' ability to produce SAF."Honeywell: A Champion for Greener Skies

Honeywell goes beyond just creating new technology by showing their commitment to sustainability through these actions:

• Leading Innovation: By introducing solutions like FT Unicracking, they demonstrate their dedication to advancing eco-friendly practices in aviation.

• Decreasing Carbon Emissions: The wide use of Honeywell's technology results in significantly lower carbon emissions from aviation, encouraging a more environmentally conscious approach to flying.

• Working Together for Change: They actively partner with industry allies and airlines to encourage the use of SAF, ensuring a wider positive effect on our sustainable future. With their determination and creativity, Honeywell is molding a cleaner future for air travel.

"Using Honeywell's advanced technology, DG Fuels will supply enough fuel for more than 30,000 transatlantic flights every year, contributing significantly to reducing the carbon emissions of global air travel," said Michael Darcy, CEO of DG Fuels. "This is a big leap forward in supporting the airline industry's goal of reaching net zero carbon emissions from international aviation by 2050."
