Default Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to start 2023, to NYC

A normal Boeing 787 passenger plane
will next year jet from London to New York
in a bid to prove long haul flights
can be fuelled using only
sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).



[How is sustainable aviation fuel SAF made?
SAF is made from hydrocarbon molecules
through a process called hydrodeoxygenation.
Oxygen originating from renewable
raw materials is removed with the
help of additional hydrogen.
Other impurities, like sulphur and nitrogen,
are also removed during this process.

Also
[Guilt free flying is one step closer to reality,
the government has said,
as it awarded Virgin Atlantic up to £1m
to test the first transatlantic commercial flight
powered by green fuel.]
