E3 Flight SAF Initiative — Sustainable Aviation Fuel Research

E3 Flight leads research and development into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), working towards a greener future for aviation. Our SAF research explores novel feedstocks and conversion methods with the potential to reduce lifecycle carbon emissions by up to 80% compared to conventional jet fuel.

What is Sustainable Aviation Fuel?

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is produced from non-petroleum sources such as agricultural waste, algae, and other biomass. It can reduce lifecycle carbon emissions by up to 80% versus conventional jet fuel and is compatible with existing aircraft engines and infrastructure.

Our Research Pillars

  • Research & Development — Exploring novel SAF feedstocks and conversion pathways
  • Environmental Impact — Measuring and reducing aviation's carbon footprint
  • Industry Collaboration — Partnering with fuel suppliers and aviation stakeholders

Our Team

The SAF initiative is led by Anna Browning, who heads E3 Flight's sustainability research programme.
