In 2023, the EU introduced ReFuelEU Aviation, a SAFs uptake mandate with progressively increasing minimum SAF targets – including sub-targets for synthetic jet fuels – until 2050. Fuel consumption is expected to rise by 50% in 2050, relative to 2019....

Methanol is the second largest emitter in the chemical sector, right after ammonia, contributing approximately 0.3 Gt of CO2 emissions on a lifecycle basis. In 2020, global demand for methanol was around 100 Mt. By 2050, this demand could soar...

Ammonia is currently the largest emitter in the chemicals sector and contributes 1.3% to global annual energy-related CO2 emissions (i.e., emissions from energy combustion and industrial processes ~34.6 Gt in 2020). Manufacturing ammonia is also a highly carbon-intensive process, with...
