On October 8th, Mel Courtney, CEO of ClimaHtech Green Flight, joined host Oscar Henderson on The SAF Podcast, produced by SAF Investor.
In this episode, Mel discusses the launch of CATAGEN’s new subsidiary ClimaHtech Green Flight, and its modular, electrically driven Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production technology. The conversation explores CATAGEN’s journey, the strategic decision to focus on aviation, and how decentralised SAF production could play a crucial role in the future of sustainable flight.
While there’s no single “silver bullet” to achieve SAF production at the required global scale, ClimaHtech Green Flight’s decentralised model offers an innovative approach, one that could accelerate deployment and unlock the untapped potential of curtailed and constrained renewable assets.
Mel also shares CATAGEN’s evolution — from nearly two decades of automotive emissions testing to tackling the complex challenge of scaling SAF production. The discussion highlights how CATAGEN secured offtake agreements with Ryanair and Shell Aviation Ireland (MJV) and the broader mission to decarbonise one of the hardest-to-abate sectors.
Listen to CATAGEN’s episode of The SAF Podcast below to hear how innovation, strategy, and purpose are driving meaningful change in sustainable aviation.
