Honeywell Aerospace is now testing a new kind of sustainable aviation fuel in Phoenix with the aim of making its equipment fully compatible with these new energy sources.
The fuel was developed, using Honeywell refining technology, by World Energy LLC in California and was produced using renewable materials such as hydro treated esters and fatty acids, which come from vegetable oils. “At Honeywell, we see SAF as a logical path to decarbonize the aviation industry and we consider our facilities as laboratories for sustainable innovation,” said Dave Marinick, president of Engines and Power Systems, Honeywell Aerospace, in a statement. “Honeywell has a wide variety of ready-now solutions to help create a more sustainable future for the aviation sector, and we are proud to make this progress on our sustainability commitments in our propulsion and power systems portfolio.
