Biogas-to-SAF pathway

Conversion of raw biogas or renewable natural gas from manure digesters, landfills or wastewater plants into synthesis gas and then sustainable aviation fuel via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.

Where it's used

Gasification & Fischer-Tropsch sustainable aviation fuel
Municipal solid waste, forestry residue and captured biogas are gasified into syngas and built up into jet-range hydrocarbons via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis — a thermochemical pathway distinct from the HEFA and alcohol-to-jet routes that dominate today's certified SAF supply, with 2026 commercial-stage projects in the UK, South Africa-licensed technology and a first US biogas-to-jet pilot.
