Joint Development of New Catalyst for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Production
JFE Engineering and the University of Toyama have jointly developed a new catalyst capable of efficiently producing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). This new catalyst more than doubles the yield of liquid hydrocarbons suitable for SAF compared to traditional Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalysts, potentially reducing equipment costs.
