SINGAPORE – A new facility on Pulau Bukom will produce sustainable aviation fuel from 2028, with Singapore Airlines (SIA) and US low-cost carrier JetBlue potentially becoming its early users. The Project Beacon facility will be developed by climate technology start-up Aether Fuels and Aster, and produce up to 50 barrels a day – or 2,000 tonnes of fuel annually – when completed in 2028. It will be located at Aster’s refining hub on Pulau Bukom, which the chemical, energy and infrastructure solutions company took over from Shell in April. The technology that Aether Fuels uses to produce the green aviation fuel yields 20 per cent more fuel while requiring only half as much investment in equipment compared with producing sustainable fuel using waste oils, according to Mr Conor Madigan, the company’s founder and chief executive. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/new-plant-on-pulau-bukom-to-make-sustainable-aviation-fuel-from-2028 (ICE SINGAPORE)
