The MoU provides a framework for negotiation of definitive agreements in relation to four key workstreams: technical, project development, commercial and advocacy.
The collaboration was signed at the Farnborough Air Show in England, one of the most prestigious global aerospace, aviation and defence industry fairs.
Clara Bowman, Chief Operating Officer of HIF Global, said: "The International Energy Agency projects that aviation activity will double from 2022 levels by 20301. We are therefore in a global race to supply and scale up sustainable fuels to aviation, the hardest to abate of all the transportation sectors. Collaboration between HIF and Airbus will help accelerate the airline sector's adoption of e-SAF and facilitate the industry's transition to net zero."
e-SAF is a type of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) made by combining recycled CO2 and green hydrogen produced with renewable electricity. e-SAF is a drop-in fuel which can be used in existing airplanes without any modifications to their engines. HIF Global is designing e-SAF production facilities based on methanol to jet fuel synthesis, also called the MtJ pathway.
In May 2023, HIF Global announced agreements with Johnson Matthey and Honeywell UOP to conduct preliminary engineering for HIF's first SAF facility in the US.
