A German startup believes that better, longer-lasting electrolysers could help close the gap.

Horizon Aircraft is designing its hybrid-electric Cavorite X7 around range, payload and bad-weather operations.

In this episode, we speak with Tien Nguyen, founding partner of Vietnam-based Earth Venture Capital.

From 3D-printed model to record-breaking flight, the company that embraced being "less wrong" has made aviation history

Insights from SXSW London 2026 on why fusion energy is becoming increasingly relevant to aviation, synthetic fuels, and the race for clean industrial power.

Peter Waweru spent years supplying oilseeds to one of Europe’s largest energy companies. Then Kenya Airways asked him a question that changed everything.

A UK-based developer believes that Ethiopian cassava, a crop most people have never considered as jet fuel feedstock, could produce SAF lower than market costs.

A sugarcane-to-ethanol project in Cameroon illustrates both the promise and the complexity of building alternative fuel production in Africa.

A $6 billion project in Central Asia raises the question: are we looking for SAF in the wrong places?

In this episode, Dirk Singer speaks with Meg Gentle, Executive Director at HIF Global

Last week, we explored how nuclear fission and small modular reactors could solve SAF’s energy problem. At SXSW 2026, a panel on fusion energy suggested the story doesn’t end there.

Renewables alone can't deliver the constant, massive electricity needed for power-to-liquids SAF. Small modular reactors running ~95% of the time could change that equation.

A deep-dive into the bottlenecks shaping aviation’s transition — and five promising technologies attempting to remove them.

The French startup is betting that the path to affordable Direct Air Capture lies not in novel sorbents, but in mastering the unglamorous industrial engineering everyone else ignores.
