Study on turning waste biomass into aviation fuel
A consortium comprising enterprise development specialist Fetola, the World Wide Fund for Nature South Africa (WWF-SA) and SkyNRG is launching the Waste to Wing project to determine the feasibility of using waste biomass to produce sustainable aviation fuel in South Africa.
The consortium will help develop 25 small, medium-sized and microenterprises (SMMEs) to supply the raw material or feedstock for the project, which is expected to demonstrate the workings of pretreating the feedstock and converting it into sustainable aviation fuel – the first step towards a local sustainable aviation fuel industry.
The intention is to develop a fuel sector that promotes food security and biodiversity, as well as water, land and labour rights.
“We look forward to this opportunity to use our convening power to bring all relevant stakeholders together for the common goal of developing Africa’s first alternative aviation fuel value chain and ensuring it conforms to the highest standard of sustainability,” WWF-SA policy and future head Saliem Fakir said.
