Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) take-off: ensuring financing and production scaling

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is gaining recognition as a sustainable alternative to traditional jet fuel. Despite considerable interest and investment, challenges hinder its widespread adoption including the high cost of production compared to conventional jet fuel, limited availability of sustainable feedstocks, lack of clear and consistent government policies for production, and infrastructure. Scaling SAF production can play a key role in meeting the aviation industry's need to decarbonise. To achieve this, significant R&D investment will be required to optimise SAF production from emerging feedstocks as well as consistent international policies to provide clear, long-term signals to incentivise the necessary capital investments by SAF producers.

Attendee insights:

Learn about the potential of SAF to reduce carbon emissions and the strategies required to finance and scale its production.
