Shell Prepares Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production, With Much Lower Carbon Emissions

Shell, a global oil giant, is yet another company concerned about climate change and the impact of its actions on the environment. Today, companies and governments around the world have plans to reduce carbon emissions in the atmosphere. With that in mind, Shell aims to produce low-carbon aviation fuel by 2025.

Aviation accounts for 3% of all carbon emissions on the planet; however, modernizing it is neither easy nor inexpensive. There are few technologies available for jet engine fuels, driving up costs. Therefore, Shell’s ambitious project as a global oil giant is highly significant.

The global oil giant plans to produce 2 million tons of aviation fuel by 2025. This figure represents a tenfold increase in aviation fuel production today.

SAF is produced from natural fats, cooking oil, and plants. The final product has the capacity to reduce carbon emissions in the atmosphere by up to 80%, Shell assures.

Currently, Shell only supplies sustainable fuel produced by other companies. The global oil giant aims to produce a green fuel that can be mixed with conventional aviation fuel, without the need for changes in aircraft engines.

Currently, sustainable aviation fuel accounts for only 0.1% of global demand. Jefferies, an investment bank, reported that the demand for aviation fuel hit 330 million tons in 2019.

Sustainable aviation fuel still faces many challenges to gain traction in the international market. The main reason is the high cost of production, which is eight times more than traditional aviation fuel.

Shell Prepares Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production, With Much Lower Carbon Emissions

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Physics has been challenged: researchers have discovered something that moves faster than the speed of light, but the phenomenon does not break relativity because it involves dark patterns within optical vortices.

Europe is “frying” with records: United Kingdom records 35°C, France reaches 35°C, and Spain and Portugal face heat close to 40°C in May as a heatwave advances across the continent.

On the other side of the planet, a Brazilian doctor operates on a patient in Porto Alegre while being in China, almost 19,000 km away, using a surgical robot that responds in 200 milliseconds in a procedure that seems like science fiction.

China outpaces Elon Musk with Unitree humanoid robot available on AliExpress for $6,800, with free shipping and international delivery, turning billionaire technology into something anyone can buy online.

Lula says that the Brazilian naval industry will “thrash” China and Korea, while the government announces billions for barges, pushers, and a new hydro terminal in the Amazon.
