Fuji Dream Air charter flight FDA8100 on March 16 was no ordinary one-hour hop from Shizuoka to Nagoya Komaki Airport. The tea-green E175 flew using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) at the first time for the airline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FDA has partnered with Euglena, a Tokyo-based company that pioneered the outdoor mass cultivation technology for the microalgae Euglena<\/em> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n SUSTEO is a kind of SAF, which is produced mainly from used cooking oil (UCO) and Euglena<\/em>. SUSTEO emits CO2 at the combustion stage same as fossil fuels, but both Euglena<\/em> and plants (origin of UCO) absorb CO2 by photosynthesis during the growing stage, so it can help achieve a carbon neutral state\u2014essentially net zero CO2 emissions at the time used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ground vehicle that fueled the E175 for the historic flight was, itself, powered by renewable diesel produced by Euglena. Suzuyo Shoji Co., Ltd has a long history of developing energy-saving initiatives, including reduction programs at schools. It\u2019s why several science and technology high-school students were among the 77 passengers on board the flight, as well as guests from governments and airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finding scalable biomass is one bottleneck for ramping up production of SAF\u2013 on a global scale. Using microalgae may be a very good local solution. In fact, SUSTEO\u2019s SAF is certified by ASTM International (formerly the American Society for Testing & Materials) in D7566 Annex 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One day, SUSTEO SAF produced by Euglena could really take off, all around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: Embraer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fuji Dream Air charter flight FDA8100 on March 16 was no ordinary one-hour hop from Shizuoka to Nagoya Komaki Airport.
