Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 17 ratings
  • Interesting interviews

    This is a good podcast to understand the complex issues of SAF. Good guests from a range of companies. However, need to invest in professional mics as sometimes the sound quality is not great and it can be hard to tell what the guests are saying.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alex Zorniger | Power to Hydrogen (P2H2) | Electrolysers and living and dying by the electricity bill
Q: What should a project developer consider when choosing an electrolyser?
Developers should assess technical track record, capital and operating costs, electricity price and availability, operating patterns, durability, project scale and bankability. Technology choice should match the site's energy supply and the required hydrogen pressure and purity.
Alex Zorniger | Power to Hydrogen (P2H2) | Electrolysers and living and dying by the electricity bill
Q: Why are electrolysers important to eSAF production, and what do they do?
Electrolysers use electricity to produce hydrogen, a major input to power-to-liquid SAF. Hydrogen can represent 40% to 55% of the cost of an eSAF gallon.
Stewart Stewart | Nova Pangaea Technologies | Boring is beautiful
Q: How have you found working with those partners in the last nine or ten months, and how integral have they been to keeping momentum going?
Stewart says Project Speedbird aligns Nova Pangaea's waste-biomass conversion and ethanol with LanzaJet's alcohol-to-jet technology and IAG and British Airways' market knowledge and offtake, giving the company a focused route to market.
Stewart Stewart | Nova Pangaea Technologies | Boring is beautiful
Q: What about SAF and Nova Pangaea Technologies particularly piqued your interest as this next step in your career?
Stewart was drawn to low-carbon drop-in fuels because aviation cannot readily electrify, and to Nova Pangaea's waste-based feedstock, carbon-negative potential, demonstration plant and established commercial partners.
Hydrocarbon Engineering: The accident that revolutionised (SAF) brewing
Q: Where are you in the TRL/certification path and what is the near-term plan to commercialize?
Current pilot operations are at TRL 6 with 30 kg per hour capacity, aiming for TRL 7-8 through longer-duration demonstrations and integration with a partner refinery or biomethane plant for early commercial deployment. Certification will follow once TRL status is clarified, likely via collaboration with a recognized certifying body or through a customer refinery pathway.
