The group’s ClimaHtech Green Flight business develops technology for sustainable aviation fuel. Its approach uses small, modular production units that can operate in different locations and expand with demand. These fuel-production systems sit alongside the group’s testing work: one part measures emissions from existing equipment, while another develops machinery intended to supply lower-carbon aviation fuel.
