Sustainable Aviation Fuel boost: Fiji Airways announces major collaboration with sugar industry

Fiji Airways has announced a significant partnership with the Fiji Sugar Industry and other stakeholders to assess the feasibility of producing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in the country, reported FBC News.

As per media report, in a statement, the national airline revealed its collaboration with the Fiji Sugar Corporation (FSC), Lee Enterprises Consulting, and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for this project.

This initiative has the potential to promote sustainable aviation and agriculture in the Pacific region while creating new economic opportunities for local farmers and communities in Fiji.

According to the airline, the ADB-funded project aims to explore the feasibility of establishing a comprehensive SAF production and utilization model in Fiji, utilizing local agricultural resources, international expertise, and the capabilities of Fiji’s national airline.

The study will analyze the use of sugar cane and its by-products as inputs for ethanol production and other energy sources that can be converted into SAF. It will also investigate the viability of molasses, sugar, bagasse, and biomass as potential feedstocks for SAF production.
