ASTM decision brings 100% SAF certification within reach

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Swedish Biofuels AB announced today that the ASTM International Committee has accepted the use of C2 to C5 alcohols as feedstock for the alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) pathway as well as a new specification for fully formulated aviation fuel with aromatics.

The ASTM International Committee D02 on Petroleum Products, Liquid Fuels, and Lubricants and Subcommittee D02.J on Aviation Fuel passed a concurrent ballot late June extending ASTM D7566, Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuel Containing Synthesized Hydrocarbons, by a new Annex 8 submitted by Swedish Biofuels AB. When published, the revised issue of D7566 will be numbered D7566-23a and will display the specification of alcohol to jet synthetic paraffinic kerosene with aromatics (ATJ-SKA) produced by Swedish Biofuels technology and using single C2 to C5 alcohols or a combination of two or more C2 to C5 alcohols as feedstock for the process.

Unlike previously approved pathways, the Swedish Biofuels pathway is not limited to a single feedstock and includes the production of aromatics. With the ability to flexibly vary the amount of aromatics, the fuel produced by Swedish Biofuels is completely indistinguishable from fossil kerosene in its composition and properties. Even though D7566-23a currently only permits use of the jet fuel produced as a 50% blend with fossil kerosene, it is an important milestone in the sustainability journey and a short reach to 100% certification. Once D7566-23a is published by ASTM, it will be eligible as a standard to be used for fuel production for commercial airlines. It is estimated that these final actions will be completed by ASTM in Q3 2023.

About Swedish Biofuels

Swedish Biofuels delivers engineering solutions, process architecture and science for the production and conversion of alcohols to transport fuels and valuable chemicals from sustainable feedstocks. The company is the inventor of the original Alcohol to Jet technology (ATJ), patented in 2004 for the production of fully formulated sustainable aviation fuels from alcohols (SAF). The company has produced, sold and delivered fully formulated SAF for tests, certification and demonstration programs in the US, UK, Sweden and Germany.

The trade name of Swedish Biofuels ATJ SAF production technology is PureSAFSM. Swedish Biofuels has an alliance with KBR to offer PureSAFSM sustainable aviation fuel technology to the market. In addition to processing ethanol and other alcohols, this technology can also convert carbon dioxide and synthesis gas to SAF, thereby expanding opportunities to utilize captured carbon for a cleaner, greener future. Validation of this advanced technology was performed in conjunction with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) at GKN Aerospace Sweden.

microstrategy-boosts-bitcoin-holdings-to-214,400-btc-with-$7.8m-purchase

MicroStrategy has increased its Bitcoin holdings to 214,400 BTC with a recent purchase of $7.8 million worth of the cryptocurrency. This move further solidifies MicroStrategy’s position as a major institutional holder of Bitcoin and demonstrates its continued bullish outlook on the digital asset.

MicroStrategy, a publicly traded business intelligence firm, has been actively accumulating Bitcoin as part of its treasury strategy, viewing the cryptocurrency as a long-term store of value and hedge against inflation. The recent purchase of $7.8 million worth of Bitcoin adds to the company’s already substantial holdings, reaffirming its confidence in the future potential of the digital currency.

MicroStrategy’s ongoing accumulation of Bitcoin reflects a broader trend of institutional adoption and investment in the cryptocurrency space. As more companies recognize the value proposition of Bitcoin as a hedge against economic uncertainty and fiat currency devaluation, they are increasingly allocating funds to acquire and hold the digital asset.

Overall, MicroStrategy’s decision to boost its Bitcoin holdings with a $7.8 million purchase underscores the company’s conviction in the long-term viability and potential of Bitcoin as a strategic asset. This move is likely to further encourage other institutions to explore Bitcoin as a component of their investment portfolios, driving continued growth and adoption in the cryptocurrency market.
