Begin of the balloting course of for ASTM certification of World Bioenergies expertise to Sustainable Aviation Gas.
World Bioenergies has the attitude to supply Sustainable Aviation Gas (“SAF”) by means of its bio-isobutene expertise, and has labored these final years on the ASTM worldwide certification process. The balloting course of, a key step for such certification, is now scheduled.
The way it works:
Air transportation trade requires the gas it makes use of to be licensed by ASTM worldwide. SAF is licensed worldwide based on ASTM commonplace D7566, with an annex describing the gas specification necessities and most mix share with typical jet fuels.

This commonplace permits the licensed merchandise to be thought of as ‘drop-in’ fuels, that means they’ll safely be utilized in current business plane and aviation gas infrastructure at worldwide stage. Inclusion of recent SAF manufacturing pathways in the usual requires an intensive analysis of the efficiency of the gas adopted by a balloting process.
Key steps:
- 2018-2023: analysis of the gas efficiency by the US Federal Aviation Administration, the 2 foremost airplane producers (Airbus and Boeing) and the 5 foremost engine producers (Rolls Royce, GE aviation, Safran, Pratt & Whitney, Honeywell).
- Beginning on 27 February 2023 and ongoing over a number of weeks: balloting course of at ASTM D02 subcommittee J containing key aviation trade stakeholders. To proceed with the certification, unanimous settlement on the proposed modifications to the usual are required.
- June 2023: If the above subcommittee voting spherical is constructive, ultimate consensus on the ASTM D02 foremost committee is sought by means of a second poll session.
Bernard Chaud, Head of commercial technique at World Bioenergies, declares:
Our collaboration with SkyNRG, the worldwide chief fostering the event of SAF, occurred within the body of the EU undertaking REWOFUEL.
“Reaching the poll stage of the ASTM certification course of is a superb milestone for us. We’ll keep very attentive to all ASTM members feedback throughout the course of, in order to offer all of the solutions and ensures for business utility to aeronautics.”
Marc Delcourt, Co-founder and CEO at World Bioenergies, provides:
A constructive vote of the ASTM subcommittee J can be a tremendous achievement for World Bioenergies as solely seven applied sciences have been licensed thus far.
“However in no case might we speak about crossing a end line: such a constructive determination would actually turn out to be the concrete start line of our SAF undertaking. Bettering additional the performances of the method, in addition to funding and constructing a big plant permitting the fee to be appropriate with business utility to air transportation can be a protracted journey.”
Maarten van Dijk, Co-founder and Chief Growth Officer at SkyNRG states:
Collaboration between key trade specialists is what is required to drive innovation and construct a extra sustainable aviation trade.
“The partnership with World Bioenergies is an ideal instance of this. Collectively realizing ASTM certification of their isobutene-to-SAF pathway can be a major milestone for this new expertise. At SkyNRG we see this as an essential step in the direction of assembly the rising demand for sustainable aviation gas sooner or later and assist the aviation trade cut back its carbon footprint and attain the goal of internet zero by 2050.”
