BY Swedish Biofuels AB
Swedish Biofuels AB announced on Feb. 27 an investment by Mitsubishi Corp. to jointly accelerate commercial deployment of clean renewable fuels using Swedish Biofuels advanced alcohol to jet (ATJ) technology.
The technology produces fully formulated sustainable aviation fuel (FFSAF) from a variety of biogenic feedstocks. Swedish Biofuels FFSAF is different from other SAFs, as it is not a blend component but ready-to-use, real jet fuel. The FFSAF has been tested successfully by engine manufacturers under US DARPA, US FAA and Swedish FMV programs.

With this partnership, the company expects to accelerate the deployment of its advanced ATJ technology in its home market and beyond.
