Cranfield Universityís Sea Green project will harvest algae to produce jet fuel at commercial scale. SURF is comprised of Airbus, British Airways, Rolls-Royce, Finnair, Gatwick Airport, IATA, and Cranfield University.

According to a press release, Sea Greenís ocean based facility, ìwill be designed to use the expanse of the worldís near-shore waters to rapidly grow microalgae at a faster rate than any other initiative and capture CO2 from the atmosphere and seas at the same time
