Qantas takes off with sustainable fuel research
Qantas is collaborating with US-based renewable energy
company Solazyme to investigate opportunities for algae-based sustainable aviation fuel.
The agreement will see Qantas and Solazyme work together over the next 12 months to develop a business case for the introduction of Solazyme’s algae-derived sustainable fuel technology in Australia.
Alongside a similar arrangement with the Solena Group for waste-based sustainable fuel, the feasibility study will form part of the Qantas Group’s long-term strategy to help accelerate the commercialisation of ‘drop-in’ alternative jet fuels as a means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The Qantas Group is carrying out a global review of clean technology fuel companies to establish the most promising partnership opportunities.
