The agreement was signed by Masdar Chief Green Hydrogen Officer Mohammad Abdelqader El Ramahi.

The agreement highlights areas of collaboration between the two companies, including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), green hydrogen and direct air capture technologies, as well as supporting the development and implementation of “book and claim” solutions.

Direct air capture technology captures atmospheric CO2, which can be combined with hydrogen to produce synthetic SAF. Using SAF based on green hydrogen and direct air capture is estimated to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 95% compared to conventional jet fuel, and the global market for sustainable aviation fuel is expected to grow to over $14 billion by 2032, according to Prioritize research.

Masdar CEO commented: “This MoU with Airbus further strengthens Masdar’s commitment to accelerate the reduction of global carbon emissions and lead global decarbonization efforts. We look forward to working closely with Airbus to support global Continue the development of the aviation fuel market and explore creative low-carbon solutions to support net-zero emissions.”

Airbus President Africa and Middle East said: “Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is one of the best solutions for reducing the carbon footprint of the aviation industry and this agreement will support its much-needed development and growth. At Airbus, we continue to lead the industry Towards a more sustainable future. We are committed to driving innovation to support the ambition of net zero carbon emissions by 2050 set by IATA, ATAG and ICAO.

He added: “We have a tradition of successful cooperation in the UAE, which has helped advance the country’s aerospace capabilities. This new agreement with Masdar marks another milestone in the partnership between Airbus and the UAE .”

Sustainable aviation fuel is a ready-to-use solution that can significantly reduce CO2 emissions from global air transport. It can be used as a direct fuel without modifying existing storage and refueling infrastructure, aircraft or engines. It is estimated that a global phase-in of this fuel will go a long way toward reducing air transport’s CO2 emissions and is key to a net-zero future for the global aviation industry.

Earlier this year, during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, Masdar also announced that a Masdar-led initiative focused on the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from green hydrogen is actively working with licensors to A new production pathway for certifying sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Methanol.

Founded in 2006, Masdar is a clean energy powerhouse in the UAE, active in more than 40 countries around the world, and has invested in a series of renewable energy projects with a total installed capacity of approximately 20 gigawatts (GW). (ANI/WAM)
