My name is Thorsten. I’m in the aviation industry for quite some time. Actually I started in 2001 with Lufthansa as head of fuel procurement. For 20 years I was fully aware of how much fuel aviation industry is burning, and it struck my mind rather early that we have to do something.
I’m a father of three, I have two grandchildren. So that certainly comes with some responsibility. I want a healthier planet for my children and my grandchildren, and this means we have to produce more sustainable aviation fuel.
We, as Future Energy Global, are able to facilitate the investment in refining, in research and development of new technologies, because we’re a team of experts. And I think this is the perfect blend of being able to generating more demand and providing funds to the industry to bring us to the next level.
