The aviation and transport sectors are undergoing a transformation with sustainable aviation fuels & green diesel, reducing reliance on fossil-derived fuels. Derived from feedstocks such as used cooking oil, algae, and lignocellulosic biomass, these biofuels offer significant carbon emission reductions. Hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis are key technologies enhancing fuel performance. Research into catalytic upgrading and co-processing with traditional refineries is making large-scale adoption feasible. As aviation and heavy transport industries strive for net-zero emissions, advancing these renewable fuel alternatives is crucial for long-term sustainability.
