Waste to Flight: Turning Landfill Gas into Sustainable Aviation Fuel

5 February 2026

Researchers discovered a new method to convert landfill gas from organic waste into sustainable aviation fuel. The team developed a pilot facility that produces about 100 kilograms of fuel daily using advanced purification and conversion technologies. The process transforms waste gas into synthesis gas and then into liquid fuel using specialized catalysts and compact reactors. This innovation could help reduce carbon emissions and support cleaner, more sustainable air travel.
