ICARUS - International cooperation for sustainable aviation biofuels

Co-creation Workshop on Best Practices and Concepts for Sustainable Aviation Fuels – 21 May 2026

ICARUS Project
The ICARUS project is dedicated to advancing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production by addressing critical technology limitations in three key routes: (1) Biocrude from hydrothermal liquefaction, 
(2) Isobutanol from lignocellulosic biomass, and (3) Synthetic Fischer-Tropsch from biomass gasification.

These three value chains have been strategically chosen by ICARUS due to their proximity to market deployment and their indispensable role in achieving European and international SAF deployment targets. ICARUS is committed to enhancing these technologies with innovative solutions while addressing the entire value chain. Furthermore, ICARUS is exploring novel biomass production concepts, such as sequential cropping and mix cropping, to ensure an increased and sustainable biomass supply for SAF production.
