SAF Expert Insights from the SAF North America Congress
Last month, the SAF North America Congress brought the industry together to explore the rapidly evolving landscape of SAF production, project development, policy, and investment. We caught up with some of our sponsors and speakers to dive deeper into their perspectives on market trends, project challenges, and the opportunities for scaling SAF.
The UAE Enters its SAF Era: Real projects, real policy, real momentum
The United Arab Emirates is quickly emerging as a key player in SAF in the Middle East, particularly with the recent announcement that the UAE is preparing to introduce a SAF mandate for airlines. But how can the UAE hit the ground running on SAF adoption, and suport global scale?
Scalable SAF with Feedstock Flexibility
To meet aviation's ambitious 2050 net-zero target, we must look beyond incremental improvements and focus on solutions with the potential to scale globally, cost-effectively, and sustainably. Aether Fuels believe this means developing the next generation of SAF projects that can utilize a variety of different waste carbon feedstocks, scalable, and are economical.
How the US Can Secure its Share of the SAF Opportunity
Across the US, we’ve seen positive intent for scaling SAF. The SAF Grand Challenge still stands, where the DOE, DOT, and USDA have set goals to reduce the cost, enhance energy security, and expand the production and use of SAF. So, the ambition is there—but is the action? Read on for more...
The SAF Supply Chain Puzzle: From Feedstocks to Fuels — Building a Resilient Global Network
As the aviation sector increases its commitment to net zero targets, SAF continues to take centre stage. The industry agrees that scaling SAF is essential, but many overlook the force that determines whether SAF is reliable: testing. For an industry moving at a rapid pace, confidence in product quality and sustainability is no longer optional. Read on to discover why that confidence begins with feedstocks...
Feedstocks to Fuel: Testing to Ensure a Resilient SAF Supply
As the aviation sector increases its commitment to net zero targets, SAF continues to take centre stage. The industry agrees that scaling SAF is essential, but many overlook the force that determines whether SAF is reliable: testing. For an industry moving at a rapid pace, confidence in product quality and sustainability is no longer optional. Read on to discover why that confidence begins with feedstocks...
What the World Can Learn from the East on Innovation and Sustainability
The global transition to sustainable aviation is, in many ways, a story about applied innovation: how effectively the industry can turn its net zero ambitions into tangible results; how quickly societies can succeed at converting policy into long-term investment. The data reflect what many observers in the region already know intuitively — that Asia’s most successful economies are defined not by short bursts of innovation, but by an enduring culture of focus, competence, and long-term intent.
What is Asia Pacific’s role in the development of global SAF trade corridors?
In this webinar recording, our expert panel explores how APAC can leverage geography, feedstocks and market demand to establish SAF supply corridors, transparency and credibility in SAF markets how airlines, producers, investors and policymakers in Asia Pacific can work with Europe and North America to create alignment, and more.
Asia-Pacific Sustainable Aviation Fuel Outlook 2025: Progress, challenges, and pathways
Produced in partnership with SimpliFlying, this deep-dive report explores APAC's importance in the SAF market: it is both one of the largest aviation growth markets and a region with vast feedstock resources. In 2025, APAC stands at a crossroads where it can transform from a passive consumer of others' SAF into an active producer and leader in sustainable fuel. Read the full report for more…
Why Asia Pacific Needs the One Sky Policy
Asia Pacific is poised to become the world’s most dynamic aviation market, yet the region’s SAF scale-up still faces fragmented policies, certification challenges, and financing hurdles. This year, the Sustainable Aviation Futures APAC Congress features the brand new One Sky Policy Summit, designed to move the conversation from aspiration to action.
SABA Launches Platform to Help COP30 Attendees Cut Flight Emissions
The Sustainable Aviation Buyers Alliance (SABA) recently announced a new initiative to enable COP30 attendees to address emissions from their air travel to and from the UN-hosted climate convening. Read on to learn more about how attendees can engage with real-world deployment of a crucial decarbonization technology...
How SAF Addresses Aviation's Non-CO₂ Climate Effects, Such As Contrails
While reducing carbon emissions remains a critical pillar of the industry's mission, a more comprehensive understanding of aviation's climate impact is beginning to be discussed. The next frontier in sustainable aviation lies in addressing significant non-CO₂ effects, chief among them being contrail formation. Read on to learn more...
Rethinking feedstocks for sustainable aviation fuel
As the aviation industry races to meet net zero targets, SAF remains the most viable near-term solution. But the sector’s reliance on a narrow set of feedstocks is creating bottlenecks that threaten scalability. Presented in partnership with Future Energy Global, PA Consulting’s latest report, Out of the Fryer, offers a timely analysis of alternative feedstocks.
Securing Socio-economic Growth in Asia-Pacific
Home to 60% of the world’s population, the APAC region is currently experiencing the fastest passenger traffic growth in the world. To meet the rising demand for flight in the APAC region, all stakeholders must commit to investing in the growth of existing SAF production, developing local production and supporting government SAF mandates.
Asia Pacific’s SAF Landscape: mandates, pathways, and what’s next
Asia Pacific isn’t one market, it’s a patchwork of mandates, levies, incentives, and feedstock trade dynamics. Together they’re setting the tempo for where SAF gets produced, how it moves, and what pathways scale first. Hear from Axens, Microsoft, and FedEx on APAC's SAF development.
The Power of Face-to-Face Connections: Driving SAF Scale-Up in North America
The SAF value chain is complex, spanning agriculture, refining, technology development, logistics, and aviation operations. As is so often the case, who you know matters as much as what you know - not to mention how well you know them. With competitors, collaborators, and potential competitors attending SAF North America, can you afford not to be in the room?
Announcing the One Sky Policy Summit: Advancing SAF policy alignment across Asia Pacific
We are proud to announce the launch of the One Sky Policy Summit, hosted in partnership with the Asia Sustainable Aviation Fuel Association (ASAFA) and taking place at the Sustainable Aviation Futures APAC Congress. Read on to learn more...
Solving SAF’s 3 Biggest Challenges & SAF Pricing Revealed
In the lead up to SAF North America we recently ran two webinars, one on overcoming three of SAF's biggest challenges (cost, bankability, technology pathways), and one on functions for SAF Pricing, run in partnership with BNEF. Tune in to meet some of our expert speakers for the upcoming congress, and get a head-start on key topics in the agenda.
Balancing Rapid Aviation Growth with SAF Manufacturing and Policy Innovation in Asia–Pacific
The Asia–Pacific aviation market is expanding at breakneck speed. Rising middle classes, booming intra-regional tourism, and surging freight demand all point to more flights, bigger hubs, and rising emissions. With credible mandates, bankable finance mechanisms, and cooperative regional frameworks, Asia–Pacific can grow and decarbonize simultaneously.
