UK-based aviation sustainability investment fund SkiesFifty and Iowa-based biomass systems designer Frontline BioEnergy have announced a new partnership to advance Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production across the United States. The two firms, which will form a new, jointly owned company, will focus on scaling up green methanol and SAF production by employing Frontline’s patented high-quality gasification system as well as externally licensing the technology to other producers.
”This joint venture is another example of our commitment to driving sustainable aviation through investing in innovative solutions,” said SkiesFifty partner Kurt Stache. “Together with Frontline, we are creating new paths to renewable fuels that will help decarbonize our key focus sector, aviation, and also, as an added bonus, the maritime sector.”
”Our proprietary technology creates clean, tar-free, and particulate-free synthesis gas. It has huge potential for the generation of SAF. We have been looking for the right partner and investor to unlock this market for some time: SkiesFifty will now enable us to enter into SAF production and commercialize it on a global scale,” said Jerod Smeenk, CEO at Frontline BioEnergy. “Through transforming waste into clean energy, we are unlocking new possibilities for renewable fuel production and contributing to a more sustainable future.”
