What is Nabisy?

Nabisy, the governmental web application for sustainable biomass (Nachhaltige Biomasse System, Nabisy), operated by the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE), serves to prove the sustainability of bioliquids and/ or liquid or gaseous fuels from biomass, pursuant to EU Directive 2009/28/EC.

What are alternative jet fuels?

HEFA-SPK fuel is considered as leading alternative replacements for conventional jet fuel by the CAA because of its sustainability. HEFA-SPK was approved by Altair Engineering for use in 2011. HEFA-SPK is produced by the deoxygenation and hydroprocessing of the feedstock fatty acids of algae, jatropha, and camelina.

What is sustainable alternative fuel?

Biofuels made of biomass are clean, environment-friendly and efficient renewable energy resources. Biofuels are consumed as gas, liquid and solid. Liquid biofuels which have the potential to replace liquid fossil fuels are vegetable oils, biodiesel, biomass and bioalcohols.

What is SAF made from?

SAF stands for sustainable aviation fuel. It’s jet fuel made from sustainable and renewable sources. It’s an alternative to fossil jet fuel (Jet A), which is made from crude oil — also called liquid petroleum — that is extracted from the ground.

Will renewable diesel replace biodiesel?

Thanks to hydrogenation, renewable diesel also burns cleaner than biodiesel. Because it has the same chemical structure as petroleum diesel, renewable diesel can be used in engines that are designed to run on conventional diesel fuel — with no blending required.

What is bio jet fuel made of?

Biojet fuel is made from sustainable sources such as vegetable oils, sugars, animal fats and even waste biomass, and can be used in existing jet engines without modification. Renewable aviation fuels are different from traditional jet fuel because they are not made from petroleum, yet are molecularly identical.

Who makes bio jet fuel?

The logistics and retail giant announced Wednesday morning that it plans to buy 6 million gallons of bio jet fuel via a division of Shell and produced by World Energy, a big biodiesel producer.

Is HVO the same as hefa?

HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids), also called HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), is a renewable diesel fuel that can be produced from a wide array of vegetable oils and fats. The term HEFA or HVO is used collectively for these biogenic hydrocarbon-based renewable biofuels.
