Decarbonisation Technology
Rising CO₂ emissions are a constant source of concern for both the public and government agencies due to their implications for global warming. Regulators have been setting stringent specifications to decarbonise every industrial sector, triggering a rethink of the refining and petrochemical industries. The European Green Deal has set the very ambitious target of decreasing the European Union’s greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 to reach climate neutrality by 2050. The European Union has launched the ReFuelEU initiative, which progressively increases the target amount of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) that must be used to ensure that the aviation sector also reaches carbon neutrality. The goal of 70% SAF by 2050 can only be achieved if a ramp-up in SAF production from different sources is pursued.
In this article published by Decarbonistaion Technology it is expaline how the required ramp-up in SAF production can be achieved more easily and efficiently with the support of high-throughput catalyst testing technology.
