Decarbonizing the #aviation industry is a lifelong passion for World Energy, LLC CEO Gene Gebolys. A leader in renewable fuels and emerging #sustainability technologies, World Energy was the world’s first producer of commercial scale sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), a jet fuel replacement comprised of renewable resources such as cooking oil, animal fat and agricultural waste. To date, World Energy’s efforts have eliminated 250,000 tonnes of aviation emissions and counting. In November 2023, they partnered with Gulfstream Aerospace on the world’s first 100% net-zero transatlantic flight fueled solely on SAF from Savannah, Georgia, USA to London. Along the way, Gebolys has become a global advocate for #innovation and #collaboration and proved that an industry with a historically negative impact on our #climatecrisis can ultimately be a part of the solution.
