Methanol-to-Jet: Building the Next SAF Value Chain
MI — The Global Methanol Alliance, DNV and industry leaders came together to explore what comes next for Methanol-to-Jet following its approval under ASTM D7566, and what is needed across the value chain to bring MtJ to commercial scale.
Methanol-to-Jet (MtJ) is emerging as one of the most closely watched pathways in sustainable aviation fuel. In July 2026, methanol was qualified as an approved feedstock under ASTM D7566, clearing the way for MtJ to be used as jet fuel. With technology providers scaling up and the first commercial projects taking shape, attention is now turning to what it will take to bring MtJ to market at scale.
Organised by MI and DNV, the session covered topics ranging from project development and technology readiness to certification, policy support and airline offtake. The webinar explored the projects and technologies leading the way, the lessons emerging from early developments, the key barriers that remained, and what was needed to unlock investment and scale deployment.
The discussion featured leading experts from Honeywell Technologies, Metafuels, and IATA.
