Envision Delivers 10-Tonne SAFc Attributes in First Overseas Use

SYDNEY – October 29, 2026 -- Envision delivered Sustainable Aviation Fuel certificate (SAFc) attributes corresponding to 10 tonnes of CO2 emissions reductions at Global Citizen NOW: Perth, the first international application of its SAFc solution.

Envision retires SAF attributes through a global registry

The reductions are linked to the actual production and use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The associated attributes are recorded and retired through a leading global registry to ensure transparency and traceability. Envision served as Sustainability Partner of the event.

Niutech Signs Deal With Global Energy Giant on Plastic-to-SAF Pyrolysis Line

JINAN, China -- September 01, 2026 -- Niutech Technology Group Co., Ltd. has signed a sales contract with an unnamed global energy giant to supply an industrial continuous pyrolysis line for plastic waste, the Jinan-based company said Aug. 30, 2026. The line, with a unit capacity of 10,000 to 50,000 tonnes per year, will upgrade one of the client's large-scale refineries to produce hydrotreated sustainable aviation fuel from plastic-waste pyrolysis oil. Niutech called the deal its first entry into the client's equipment supply chain.

EU mandate pushes refiners toward waste-based jet fuel

The EU's ReFuelEU Aviation regulation requires a 2% sustainable aviation fuel blend starting in 2025, rising to 6% by 2030 and 70% by 2050. Supplies of used cooking oil, the feedstock refiners have relied on for SAF production, remain limited. Plastic waste has emerged as an alternative feedstock for refiners racing to meet the EU blending schedule.

Jinan, China -- September 01, 2026 -- Niutech Technology Group Co., Ltd. signed a sales contract with a major global energy company for an industrial continuous pyrolysis line that converts plastic waste into feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel, the Jinan-based firm said Aug. 31, 2026. The system, rated at 10,000 to 50,000 tonnes per year, will retrofit one of the client's large-scale refineries to run the full chain from plastic pyrolysis oil to hydrotreated SAF. Niutech said the deal marks its first entry into the client's equipment supply chain.

EU Blending Mandate Pushes Refiners Toward Plastic-Derived Oil

The European Union's ReFuelEU Aviation regulation requires a 2% SAF blend starting in 2025, rising to 6% by 2030 and 70% by 2050. Used cooking oil, the dominant SAF feedstock today, remains in short supply, pushing energy companies to test plastic waste as an alternative pyrolysis oil source.
