INOCAS is a spin-off and exclusive partner of the "Platform for Sustainable Aviation Fuels" – a research project of the Leuphana University Lueneburg in cooperation with Yale University and the University of South Australia.

The interdisciplinary team consists of twelve researchers and includes economists specialized on finance, sustainability accounting, social sustain ability, business models and certification, respectively.
Moreover, agronomists, a forest scientist and biologists support the team. The program is funded by the European Union and the State of Lower Saxony with a total budget of EUR 2.7 million. For further information please visit the project's website www.leuphana.de/incubator/biokerosene

The Lufthansa Group has set itself ambitious targets: by 2020, the company aims to reduce its specific CO2 emissions by 25 per cent compared to 2006 levels. Sustainable, alternative fuels with a better CO2 footprint are a key component in avoiding emissions in the future. Lufthansa plans to blend up to 10 per cent of synthetic fuel with conventional jet fuel by 2020.

In cooperation with Lufthansa AG, INOCAS works on biojet fuel feedstock made in Europe which offer the lowest possible carbon footprint and do not reduce current agricultural production levels.
