Overview
Decarbonising aviation remains a global challenge, driving the UK and the EU to introduce ambitious Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) mandates that target 22% renewable blending by 2040 and 70% by 2050. This project addresses that limitation by exploring the microbial conversion of lignocellulosic C5/C6 sugars derived from agricultural residues into higher alcohols —an innovative, sustainable alternative aligned with the UK’s Jet Zero and circular bioeconomy goals.
