Airbus has set an ambitious target to bring to market the world’s first hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft by 2035.
Airbus used 11 million liters of a 10-percent SAF blend for its operations and customer deliveries in 2023, and this year the manufacturer aims to achieve an average of 15 percent SAF in its fuel mix. By the end of the decade, Airbus hopes to achieve 100 percent SAF capabilities. Despite the ambitions, Kitcher acknowledged that the cost and availability of SAF remain a challenge. Still, progress is being made across the Asia-Pacific region, including in Australia, India, Japan, Malaysia, and Thailand.
To accelerate advancements, Airbus is collaborating with key partners in the region, such as Singapore-based Apeiron Bioenergy, a provider of bioenergy products from waste-based feedstock to the end and by-products. Apeiron is present in 10 countries and offers an extensive value chain, featuring storage, processing facilities, and biofuel refineries.
