TotalEnergies joins Masdar and Siemens Energy in sustainable aviation fuel project – The National

TotalEnergies is joining Germany's Siemens Energy on a Masdar-led initiative to produce sustainable aviation fuel from green hydrogen as the UAE offers cleaner solutions to help the global aviation sector to reduce its carbon footprint.

The three companies will develop a pilot plant that will be based in Masdar City in the UAE capital.

The project will enter the front-end engineering and design stage later this year and is expected to start operations by the "middle of this decade", Siemens Energy chief executive Christian Bruch told The National.
