Sustainable Aviation Fuel podcast with Maurits van Tol

Hot on the heels of the announcement that their FT Cans technology, developed with bp. will be used for DG Fuels’ $4bn St John’s Parish, Louisiana facility. Billed as being the largest Fischer Tropsch facility in the world with a capacity of 300,000 metric tonnes per year.

We discuss the development of the CANS technology alongside bp, where it fits in in the process and the challenges of working on a project of this scale. We touch on whether the SAF industry needs more ambitious projects of this size to meet targets or if smaller modular facilities is the way to go for faster project development. Oil and Gas is never far away in a SAF conversation so Maurits shares his thoughts on their ongoing role in growing production and decarbonising quickly.

We also discuss the Virgin Atlantic transatlantic 100% SAF flight in November last year and the role Johnson Matthey had in making that happen and the importance of flights like this in bringing the work being done in aviation to decarbonise the industry.

We conclude with the far-reaching impact of life cycle assessments on decision-making in this sector, emphasizing that informed choices are imperative for the sustainable growth of the aviation fuel landscape. Join us for this deep exploration into the intersection of technology, sustainability, and the future of aviation fuels.

This is a great conversation with a leader in SAF technology development and licensing, so don’t miss out on Maurits excellent insight.
