A consortium comprising enterprise development specialist Fetola, the World Wide Fund for Nature South Africa (WWF-SA) and SkyNRG is launching the Waste to Wing project to determine the feasibility of using waste biomass to produce sustainable aviation fuel in South Africa.  The consortium will help develop 25 small, medium-sized and microenterprises (SMMEs) to supply the raw material or feedstock for the project, which is expected to demonstrate the workings of pre-treating the feedstock and converting it into sustainable aviation fuel – the first step towards a local sustainable aviation fuel industry.
