Global Bioenergies’ SAF trials with Safran successful

In France, Global Bioenergies’ Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) has been tested in collaboration with Safran on the injection phase, and with ONERA on the combustion phase.

The company supplied a batch of SAF to Safran, the world’s second-largest aircraft equipment manufacturer, to evaluate the specific properties of Global Bioenergies’ SAF, used in its neat form, during the fuel injection phase prior to combustion in the engine. This phase is crucial to ensure, among other things, high efficiency and therefore lower fuel consumption. A test campaign was carried out near Rouen at CERTAM (regional innovation center of technological exchange in aerothermal and engines).
