Future of the skies - Space

In the future, our planet will undoubtedly be very different: the things that we have recently discovered, such as new fuels, supercomputers, robots and drones, will transform our way of flying, creating and living. We may even live on other planets! Can you imagine what this future will be?

What is Sustainable Aviation Fuel?

Today’s jet fuel impacts the environment. A proven alternative fuel - named Sustainable Aviation Fuel - can reduce lifecycle CO2 emissions compared to conventional fuel. SAF is one of the aerospace industry’s best decarbonisation solutions which can help for the betterment of our planet. So what is sustainable aviation fuel?

Why is Sustainable Aviation Fuel better than conventional?

SAF is critical to achieve aviation´s zero emissions and to address a changing climate! It gives an impressive reduction of up to 80% in carbon emissions over the lifecycle of the fuel compared to the traditional jet fuel it replaces, depending on the sustainable feedstock used, production method and the supply chain at the airport. It is a complement to Hydrogen. Discover why SAF produces less CO2 than fossil fuel.

How do we make sustainable aviation fuel?

There are many ways to produce SAF. And yes, you can help too by collecting your used cooking oil by example!
Do you have some chemical memories? Watch this last video to understand the mechanism of production!

How can airplanes use hydrogen as fuel?

From rockets to flying balloons, hydrogen has already been used to reach the sky and beyond. Tomorrow, it could be used to power airplanes! But how? Modifying engines and using special battery-like fuel cells are all options. Where would you go in a hydrogen airplane?

What will airplanes use as fuel in the future?

Today’s airplanes use a fuel that releases a gas into the air. This is known as CO2. But too much of this gas means the temperature changes, which can cause serious problems for our planet. So what can we use to fuel airplanes instead? Batteries? Algae? Hydrogen? Yes! What do you think will power future airplanes?

What do we have to change to make airplanes fly on hydrogen?

Before airplanes can fly on hydrogen, what will need to be changed? A lot! More hydrogen factories will have to be built, as well as special storage tanks. And the airplane itself will need to change, too. Engineers are working on all kinds of ideas! What do you think a hydrogen airplane will look like?

What makes hydrogen such a good fuel for future airplanes?

What is the smallest, lightest molecule in the universe? It’s hydrogen and there's a lot of it. In oceans, in rivers, and even in your kitchen sink! Because hydrogen by itself can burn really well, it could be used to fuel future airplanes. Where can you find hydrogen around you?
