Sustainable Flight Solutions
SusAlgaeFuel 2024-2028

Within the SusAlgaeFuel project (Horizon Europe), Sustainable Flight Solutions (SFS Ireland) serves as the lead partner for Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) and industrial stakeholder engagement. Leveraging our ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system, we are conducting an iterative S-LCA designed to provide early-stage hotspot identification. This rigorous, data-driven approach allows for subsequent system optimisation, ensuring that microalgae-based SAF pathways are refined for maximum socio-economic benefit before reaching commercial scale. By bridging the gap between technical R&D and industrial viability, SFS Ireland manages high-level collaboration across the value chain, navigating complex regulatory landscapes,including ICAO CORSIA and EU RED II/III

SFS Ireland is proud to be part of the SusAlgaeFuel Team!

2022-2023 SAF Ireland Feasibility Study

  • SFS Ireland and SkyNRG will jointly conduct a year-long feasibility study on the development of a commercial-scale SAF production facility in Ireland. The study is agnostic in terms of feedstock and technology but only includes sustainable (waste-based) feedstock.
  • Based on previous work and market intelligence, SAF production pathways utilizing solid bio-based waste and green hydrogen in combination with CO2 are specifically of interest, but all pathways will be examined.
  • The aim is to assess the techno-economic feasibility of a local Irish supply chain, providing sustainable fuel opportunities for the domestic market, potentially including exports.
  • Sustainability is at the core of the project and the EU RED II framework serves as input for the study. Next, an assessment on the social-environmental impact of the supply chain will be conducted.
  • The project is supported by 3 major aviation players active in Ireland and Internationally.
  • Project Results Published in 2023 – Downloadable here and via the Avolon Website.
