The ReFuelEU Aviation Regulation would require all jet fuel supplied at EU airports to contain a minimum of 2% SAF from 2025, rising to 70% by 2050. Scheduled to become fully operational in 2028, the facility was expected to produce approximately 100,000 tonnes/year of SAF. The plant would convert waste fats and greases into a sustainable "drop-in" fuel to be blended with conventional jet fuel without requiring modifications to aircraft or fuelling infrastructure. "Developing Europe's first dedicated sustainable aviation fuel facility is a major step in scaling SAF production and supporting aviation decarbonisation," said Bart Rosendaal, site director of DSL-01 at SkyNRG. The ICSS would include Emerson's DeltaV Distributed Control System and DeltaV Safety Instrumented System...
