    LanzaJet secures at least $20M in new financing to scale SAF production at Freedom Pines Fuels

    LanzaJet announced fully committed new financing of at least $20 million to support its next phase of growth and operations at Freedom Pines Fuels in Soperton, Georgia. The first close occurred on October 14, and the financing is expected to close in full by December 2026. The financing is supported by LanzaTech Global, Vinod Khosla and the LanzaJet Board and is part of a broader recapitalization and deleveraging of LanzaJet; as part of the transactions, LanzaTech will significantly increase its ownership of LanzaJet. Freedom Pines Fuels is the world's first commercial-scale alcohol-to-jet production facility, with a production capacity of 10 million gallons per year, and has already produced SAF and renewable diesel that meet ASTM specifications.

    Mexico plans SAF plants in Mexico City and Cancún, ASA says at first SAF-Mex forum

    At the first SAF-Mex forum, Aeropuerto y Servicios Auxiliares (ASA) director general Carlos Manuel Merino Campos said ASA, Mexico's main supplier of aircraft fuel, is pursuing specialized Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) plants in Mexico City and Cancún, to meet Plan México and international greenhouse-gas commitments. He said Mexico supplied 5.4 billion litres of jet fuel last year, half of it imported. Energy undersecretary Jorge Marcial Islas Samperio said Mexico has a route and the resources for environmentally friendly fuel. Transport undersecretary Tania Carro Toledo said advanced alternative fuels can deliver significant CO2 savings without competing with food production for land and water.

    Companies are the missing piece to finance SAF, IATA, Airbus and Accenture say

    IATA, Airbus and Accenture released a study in Brussels on the market for sustainable aviation fuel environmental attribute certificates, arguing that corporate purchases of the certificates could become a new source of SAF financing. The study estimates corporate procurement could support 1 million to 1.9 million tonnes of SAF by 2030, up from about 323000 tonnes in 2024. Certificate prices, unclear carbon accounting rules and complex procurement remain the main barriers; the study calls for clear accounting rules, interoperable traceability and simpler purchasing. Corporate demand alone will not close the gap, and government support and capacity growth are still needed.

    Topsoe to supply co-processing technology for BPCL's SAF project in Mumbai

    Topsoe has signed a licensing agreement to provide kerosene hydrotreating technology for co-processing at Bharat Petroleum's Mumbai refinery. BPCL will revamp its 4000-tonne-per-day kerosene hydrotreater to co-process 5% used cooking oil alongside conventional feedstock, producing SAF within existing infrastructure. The final investment decision is taken, the revamp is underway and commissioning is expected by end of 2026; the SAF will supply international flights departing Indian airports ahead of CORSIA compliance in 2027 and India's 1% SAF blending target for 2027.

    India's SAF sector could become a new market for US corn

    The US grain industry sees India's sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) sector as a potential new market for American corn, according to UkrAgroConsult. The concept involves using corn-based ethanol in alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) technology to produce aviation fuel. The US industry is also promoting imported corn for ethanol aimed at higher road-fuel blending levels such as E85, while India's existing E20 program would continue to rely mainly on domestic feedstocks. US representatives expect India's future ethanol demand could eventually exceed its domestic feedstock capacity, and see India's existing ethanol distillery network as a foundation for SAF production — though technology investment, certification and long-term offtake agreements would be needed. Access for US corn to the Indian market remains sensitive due to protections for domestic farmers and restrictions on GM products, so the US industry is pushing to focus the discussion on ethanol's lifecycle carbon footprint rather than feedstock origin alone. Hindustan Times separately reported that US companies are also exploring investments in SAF facilities in India using ATJ technology.

    Aviation roadmaps overshoot planetary limits, Nature Communications study finds

    A study published in Nature Communications finds that none of the currently proposed aviation roadmaps for climate mitigation bring the sector within its share of Earth's planetary boundaries. Assessing scenarios from ICAO, ATAG and the EU's ReFuelEU Aviation initiative, the authors find systematic transgression of the two core boundaries, climate change and biosphere integrity, regardless of storyline, allocation principle or biofuel production pathway. Historical aviation impacts from 1940 to 2022 alone already transgress those boundaries under the ethics-based allocation. Beyond 2022, fossil kerosene drives the transgression, while the environmental burdens of biofuels and e-fuels are highly sensitive to production pathways. The authors conclude that technological improvements alone are insufficient and that combined actions including ambitious demand-side measures are required. Under the study's scenarios, air traffic would need to degrow by 8.6% per year for additional planetary boundaries to be respected.
