Storrer’s Edge Podcast Spotlights Nova Pangaea’s Breakthrough in Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Teesside, UK – 22 September 2025 — The latest episode of the Storrer’s Edge AI in Renewables podcast features an in-depth conversation with Jonathan Wood, Chief Commercial Officer at Nova Pangaea Technologies, exploring how waste biomass is being transformed into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and biochar.

Nova Pangaea’s patented REFNOVA® technology is at the heart of Project Speedbird, a flagship collaboration with British Airways and LanzaJet. Once operational, the project will produce over 100 million litres of SAF annually, reducing net CO₂ emissions by approx. 500,000 tonnes per year vs fossil jet fuel. Supported by UK government funding, it represents one of the most significant steps toward decarbonising and will also create new jobs and investment.

In the episode, Jonathan shares:

• His career journey from oil major to cleantech pioneer.
• How REFNOVA® technology works to convert agricultural and forestry waste into ethanol and biochar.
• The role of Project Speedbird in scaling SAF production and inspiring similar projects worldwide.
• The broader challenges and opportunities for sustainable aviation fuels in the energy transition.

“This is not just about replacing fossil fuels. It’s about creating a circular carbon economy where we recycle carbon already in our ecosystem, while delivering real environmental and economic benefits,” Wood explains.

The conversation highlights Nova Pangaea’s role in leading the SAF revolution and demonstrates how collaboration, innovation, and resilience are driving the future of renewable fuels.
