Boeing bets on Canadian green jet fuel technologies
Aircraft manufacturing giant Boeing has invested almost $17.5 million with a trio of Canadian sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) pioneers aiming to accelerate development of technologies that could help convert the country's lumber waste and CO 2 emissions into low-carbon jet fuels. Boeing will invest $10 million in a joint venture between Quebec companies Bioenergie AECN and Alder Renewables to advance a project that will turn sawmill by-products into biocrude for SAF, and $7.5 million in a pilot plant being built in BC by Dimensional Energy that can capture CO 2 directly from industrial facility emissions and transforms it into green synthetic fuel. The volumes of SAF produced by the pilot projects will be relatively small: a total of 50 million gallons a year compared to the almost 100,000 million gallons currently burned annually by passenger airlines, according to Statista, a data portal. But the potential could be 'very significant" if stepped-up to commercial levels, said Boeing Canada CEO Al Meinzinger, speaking to Canada's National Observer. 'We are a global company and committed to supporting Canada's objective of being net-zero by 2050. These projects are clearly addressing a need articulated by government and industry,' he said, noting that the two SAF projects are part of Boeing's strategic $280 million investment in clean technology projects in Canada. 'Enormous latent energy sources' Chris Lohman, Boeing Canada's head of sustainability, added: 'These two projects were selected because of the enormous latent energy sources in Canada that they have the potential to unlock: sawmill waste residue that in years gone by went into the pulp and paper industry but is now looking for new uses and end-products, and CO 2 that comes from heavy-emitting industry.' 'We are a global company and committed to supporting Canada's objective of being net-zero by 2050. These sustainable aviation fuel projects are clearly addressing a need articulated by government and industry," said Boeing Canada CEO Al Meinzinger. Canada Transport's climate action plan targets 10 per cent of aviation fuel being replaced by SAF by 2030 to decarbonize a sector that globally accounts for over two per cent of all CO2 emissions, according to the Air Transport Action Group, a lobbyist. SAFs can produce 80 per cent lower emissions than conventional jet kerosene. 'SAF is a very complicated nut to crack and each concept has its own unique challenges so it is important Boeing support companies to move these technologies down the field,' said Lohman. SAFs — which can be generated from a range of industrial and commercial feedstocks as well as captured carbon — have the potential to make up 65 per cent of the emissions reduction needed by the aviation sector to reach net-zero in 2050, according to figures from the International Air Transport Association, an industry trade body. Technology 'valley of death' The SAF generated by the two projects backed by Boeing will first be trialled in 16 P-8A Poseidon patrol and reconnaissance military aircraft ordered from Boeing by the Canadian government in November 2023, but Meinzinger said it was targeting future use in commercial airliners. 'These projects are aimed at the broadest possible market. We want to help these technologies traverse the 'valley of death' [between innovative concepts to commercial production] and get over the key engineering challenges so that they can get to economic scale,' he said. Bioenergie AECN and Alder Renewables' project, called Projet Avance, points to Canada's 'unique opportunity' with SAF, said Lohman, given the 'vast, ready-made biomass resource' that can be found in the forested regions across the country 'not just to create a useful low-carbon fuel for use in Canada but also one that is exportable.' The Dimension Energy project, which will capture CO 2 straight off a flue stack at a Lafarge cement facility in Richmond, BC, he added, is 'highly replicable anywhere you have greenhouse gases being generated by heavy industry.' The Canadian Council for Sustainable Aviation Fuels — made up of 60 airlines operating in the country — laid out a roadmap in 2023 aiming to have 265 million gallons of SAF being produced domestically by 2030 and by 2035 enough to meet 25 per cent of total demand. This could reduce emissions by 15-20 per cent for aircraft departures from Canada. Meinzinger believes Canada is 'not going to get anywhere' in its energy transition without moving away from its historical focus on energy-intensive fossil fuel-based products and services: 'The world is energy-hungry but, in the long term, also sustainability-hungry.' Lohman added that Canada 'needs to make more of what we need here with what we've got,' adding that SAF is 'at the intersection of this reality.' SAF technologies, he said, can 'disentangle' Canada from its dependence on petroleum for jet fuel by using biomass and CO 2 to build more sustainable industries. 'This investment in new industries will bring enormous rewards if it bridges the gap between innovative technology and commercial products – jobs, economic development, expanded export markets,' he said.

AM Green and Port of Rotterdam Authority to Establish Green Energy Supply Chain Enabling up to 1,000,000 tons per year / USD 1 Billion Trade Between India and Europe
Sign collaboration agreement for development of green fuels bunkering market, terminal infrastructure, and Port Development for Net Zero Industrial Clusters. HYDERABAD, India and ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, May 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AM Green and the Port of Rotterdam Authority signed a Memorandum of Understanding to focus on building a green energy supply chain between India and Northwestern Europe via Rotterdam, Europe's first energy port and a key hydrogen carriers entry point. This includes the supply of bunkering fuels and Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) and analysing requirements for the development of terminal infrastructure in Rotterdam and along the supply chain to Northwestern Europe. Furthermore, the partnership will jointly support the development of strategic port infrastructure for safe distribution of hydrogen-based fuels and products, and link India's Net Zero Industrial Clusters to Europe, enabling exports of up to 1,000,000 tons annually. The envisaged supply chain can enable trade of green fuels up to USD 1 Billon between the two economies. AM Green is pushing its ambitious goal to develop 5,000,000 tons of Green Ammonia production capacity by 2030, equivalent to about 1,000,000 of Green Hydrogen to meet the rising global demand for green fuels, with initial production starting in Kakinada, On the other hand, the Port of Rotterdam plays a lead role as a critical logistics and hydrogen hub for the European continent with some 13% of the total energy demand in Europe entering via Rotterdam. Together, they aim to fulfil India's National Green Hydrogen Mission and Europe's ambitious decarbonization goals. Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, stated,"We are delighted to collaborate with AM Green BV to further strengthen our commitment to the energy transition. This agreement marks an important step towards establishing a robust supply chain for low-carbon fuels and chemicals. With India's vast potential for green hydrogen production, combined with Rotterdam's strategic location and advanced infrastructure, the collaboration will lead to a robust and sustainable green energy supply chain between the two regions" Anil Chalamalasetty, Founder of AM Green and Greenko Group said,"This partnership is part of our ambitious global growth strategy in green fuels including 5 MTPA of green ammonia and 1 MTPA of SAF. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in establishing a global carbon-free energy ecosystem. It will enable the seamless movement of green molecules and fuels from India to Europe, reinforcing AM Green's position as a global clean energy transition platform and accelerating industrial decarbonization globally." About the Port of Rotterdam Authority: The Port of Rotterdam plays a vital role in the economy and security of supply for the Rotterdam-Rijnmond region, the Netherlands, and Europe. Its strategic location, strong infrastructure, and excellent hinterland connections make it a key hub for global trade and industry.
