The French company Global Bioenergies has partnered with the Aviation Initiative for Renewable Energy in Germany (AIREG). Both organizations plan to advance renewable, low-carbon fuels in the aviation sector.
Global Bioenergies plans on producing the first bio-jet fuel batches using bio-isobutene produced from their industrial pilot facility in Germany, which will use sugars, including those from waste wood and straw to produce alternative jet fuel.
AIREG is promoting the development and use of renewable liquid fuels in order to reduce carbon release from the aviation sector. AIREG aims to replace 10% of the German jet fuel demand with alternative aviation fuels by 2025.
