According to a statement, the MoU will help develop innovative solutions to combat climate change through a planned production facility in the Edmonton Metro Region.
Edmonton International Airport (YEG) is on its way to net-zero emissions by 2040 and is actively building partnerships and pathways for the adoption of emerging sustainable technologies.
Making smart and sustainable decisions go hand-in-hand. FORGE Hydrocarbons’ unique and innovative approach to creating SAF sources aligns with YEG’s responsibility to create a better future for our people and our planet. This partnership will showcase the power of low-emission fuel in the aviation sector and we are excited to scale the development and commercialization of local technology here in the Edmonton Metro Region, said Myron Keehn, President and CEO at Edmonton International Airport.
FORGE Hydrocarbons has a proprietary Lipid-to-Hydrocarbon (LTH) technology developed by Dr David Bressler at the University of Alberta, that offers an innovative approach to producing a cost-effective “drop-in” renewable diesel fuel.
This partnership with YEG builds on FORGE Hydrocarbon’s success of the Mission Innovation initiative – Sky’s the Limit Challenge – and the Alberta Biojet Initiative, both highly successful programs that furthered the development of SAF and the much-needed specialty resources within the province, creating a highly effective biofuels ecosystem.
I am excited to announce our collaboration with the Edmonton International Airport as we plan to build a Sustainable Aviation Fuels facility here in Alberta. This endeavor represents our commitment to sustainability, the environment, and the future of clean fuels, said Tim Haig, CEO of FORGE Hydrocarbons.
