Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a renewable jet fuel which is a low-carbon, drop-in replacement for Jet A and other similar aviation turbine fuels. SAF blends produced from biomass, vegetable oils and waste resources have the potential to deliver the performance of petroleum-based jet fuels but with a much lower carbon footprint.
Alkcon Corporation has developed a proprietary process which can efficiently convert organic material and waste plastics to synthetic kerosene (SK). Our decentralized processing system will convert woody biomass and forestry wastes, combined with PE (Polyethylene) and HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), to synthetic kerosene and sustainable aviation fuel.
AlkconSAF(TM) is coming in 2025.
