Haffner Energy and IGNIS P2X Launch Biofuel Project AeroVerde in Spain
- Project Launch: Haffner Energy and IGNIS P2X have initiated the AeroVerde project, focusing on identifying the first biofuel production site in Spain, which is expected to enhance both companies' market share in the renewable energy sector.
- Technological Innovation: Haffner Energy's proprietary technology converts residual biomass into hydrogen-rich syngas for bio-SAF production, providing airlines with solutions to meet the EU's 6% SAF blend requirement by 2030, thereby supporting sustainable aviation.
