In the EU, Airbus has signed an MOU with Emerging Fuels for US sustainable aviation fuels production. EFT has developed an Advanced Fixed Bed F-T reactor and catalyst system that can convert synthesis gas from, it claims, virtually any carbonaceous feedstock into transportation fuels such as renewable diesel and sustainable jet fuel. The company recently signed a cooperation agreement with global energy infrastructure engineering, procurement and construction company Black Veatch (BV) that grants BV exclusivity in representing EFT technologies in select markets and applications.

“We look forward to interacting with all the stakeholders in the aviation supply chain and believe our relationships with Airbus Group and Black Veatch will help enable broad global development of sustainable/renewable aviation fuel facilities,” commented Kenneth Agee, President of Oklahoma-based EFT.
