United Airlines is expanding its commitment to “going green” by investing $5 million into technology that will convert microalgae into sustainable aviation fuel.
As part of the investment, which is part of United’s recently announced UAV Sustainable Flight Fund, the airline is partnering with Viridos, a biofuel company that specializes in the bioengineering of microalgae to accelerate the amount of oil that can be produced from it. This oil is used to create SAF.
