New Approach Targets Key Barrier To Wider SAF Use

In this episode of the AviationPros Podcast, Ground Support Worldwide Editor Jenny Lescohier speaks with Alexei Beltyukov, CEO of Unifuel, about a potential breakthrough in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Beltyukov explains how Unifuel’s Flexiforming technology converts low-value byproducts into critical fuel components, helping SAF move closer to a true drop-in replacement for conventional jet fuel. The discussion explores what this means for fuel logistics, infrastructure, and ground operations, as well as the economic realities shaping SAF adoption. The conversation offers a practical look at how emerging fuel technologies could impact day-to-day operations across the aviation industry.
