Next-generation SAF initiative launched in Quebec, Canada
Airbus Canada, Pratt & Whitney Canada, a business unit of Pratt & Whitney, and the SAF+ Consortium recently announced a new initiative to collaborate on next-generation sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), supported by the government of Quebec.
Known as CADAQ-100, the project will contribute to the industrywide effort to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions for aviation by 2050, as outlined by the Air Transport Action Group and International Air Transport Association in their decarbonization roadmaps.
Key areas of collaboration include SAF research and testing, including flight testing blends of up to 100 percent SAF on an Airbus A220 aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engines.
The project will also comprise feasibility studies for establishing local production facilities for power-to-liquid eSAF in Quebec.
