Scaling Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Aviation Decarbonisation in Latin America
This 60 minute webinar covered the developments in Brazil, Chile, Colombia and the wider Latin American region. Our expert panel discussed prospects for SAF scale up in Latin America; analysis of the most exciting feedstock opportunities; upcoming active and potential SAF mandates; positioning Latin America as a global SAF supply hub.
Opportunities for Sustainable Aviation Fuels in Brazil
This report, by SAF LATAM silver sponsor AFRY, maps why Brazil could become a post-2030 SAF powerhouse: rising aviation demand, looming global supply gaps, and Brazil’s unique feedstock and renewable power advantages. It compares HEFA, ATJ, BtL and PtL pathways, outlines policy signals from 2027, and highlights real projects, costs, and actions to unlock investment now.
LATAM’s Green Gold Rush: Unlocking feedstocks, finance, and policy for regional SAF leadership
If sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is the bridge to aviation’s net-zero future, feedstocks are the pavement. Latin America is in a particularly exciting position to provide, with mature biofuel industries, strong agricultural supply chains, and the land, climate, and technical capability to diversify into multiple SAF pathways.

Platts European SAF Weekly Commentary
In this SAF market update by S&P Global Energy, learn what’s really driving the latest price moves, why a short-term shift in Asian flows matters (and why some traders aren’t worried), and what the EU’s documentation crunch could mean for airline compliance and support, as well as two major announcements reshaping SAF availability and incentives across Europe.
How MENA can lead on CORSIA: collaboration before compliance
Achieving net zero will require unprecedented collaboration across the industry. Airlines, aircraft manufacturers, fuel producers, carbon market developers, financiers, regulators and governments each hold a piece of the jigsaw puzzle. None can solve it independently. In the Middle East, this collaborative mindset is already well established
Against this backdrop, CORSIA provides a concrete lens through which we can clearly see that collaboration is no longer optional, but essential to managing both emissions and risk.
Effects of Changing Policy on U.S. SAF Economics
Historically, policy support for biofuels in the United States has come in the form of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), however, passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) in 2025 resulted in decidedly mixed outcomes for biofuels growth in the near future. Read on to learn how SAF is still supported, and what comes next...
Expert Insights with Frank Wouters, Chairman, MENA Hydrogen Alliance
Ahead of the SAF MENA Congress, Frank Wouters highlights MENA’s strategic advantage as a global hub for SAF and PtL fuels, driven by transport demand, low-cost renewables and proximity to Europe. Read on to learn about the essentials to unlock hydrogen scale-up, cross-border trade and clean aviation corridors across the wider region.
Share your Voice in PwC’s SAF Market Survey
To capture how market participants really see the SAF landscape, PwC have launched a new report: have your say and participate to help shape the debate at the upcoming MENA SAF Conference in Dubai — your insights will feed directly into the discussion.
From Solar to Wings: A UAE Blueprint for Scaling Liquid Green Hydrogen as an Aviation Fuel
While SAF offers a vital bridge as a drop-in fuel, the industry’s long-term ambitions demand a fuel that is not only carbon-free but also scalable, cost-competitive, and independent of biomass constraints. For the sun-rich nations of MENA, the future is written not only in the skies, but also on the ground through renewable energy and hydrogen.
The UAE’s SAF Momentum Signals a Turning Point for Global Aviation Decarbonisation
The UAE is rapidly positioning itself as one of the most active countries in driving SAF production. Long-term ambition is now translating into tangible project pipelines, policy signals, and cross-sector alignment that place the country firmly on the global map.
Latvia and Estonia: Unlocking strategic pathways to sustainable aviation fuel in Baltic region
As the aviation industry faces mounting pressure to decarbonize, SAF continues to be a critical solution. Latvia and Estonia, two Baltic nations with distinct energy landscapes and market dynamics, are actively shaping their strategies to enhance SAF access and even explore SAF production. This article explores their respective plans, challenges, and opportunities, drawing on a detailed comparative assessment.
This Year in SAF: 2025’s Turning Point — and Why Certainty Must Come Next
2025 will be remembered as the year sustainable aviation fuel finally began to scale. After a decade of pilot schemes and policy debate, the global aviation sector has entered a new phase, one driven by firm regulation, clear ambition from airlines, and the rapid build-out of SAF projects across multiple pathways. For those of us working to bring new production online, the momentum is real. Read on to learn more...
From Theoretical to Harnessable Feedstock for SAF
Feedstock has increasingly and rightfully captured the attention of the SAF industry. There can be no SAF without feedstock. As an integral part of any SAF project, together with technology and off-take, feedstock determines the project’s commercial viability. So, what enables a theoretical agricultural feedstock to become a harnessable one? Read on to find out...
Unlocking SAF Investment: What Will It Take to Reach FID?
The future of sustainable aviation hinges on more than ambition. To meet decarbonisation targets and drive real change, SAF projects need to move from planning to production, and that means crossing the final investment decision (FID) threshold. Reaching FID for a SAF project requires being able to demonstrate strong economics and selecting the right technologies. Register for the upcoming webinar to learn more...
Sustainable Aviation Fuel and its Progress in Louisiana
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is key to decarbonizing aviation, but cost, policy shifts, and feedstock challenges remain. Research at LSU focuses on second-generation feedstocks, decentralized biorefining, and stakeholder collaboration to improve economics and scalability. Aligning agriculture, energy, and academia is vital to ensure SAF’s long-term success and policy resilience.
The Year in SAF: What did 2025 teach us, and where is the industry heading next?
In the last webinar of 2025, our panel of experts explored the SAF market around the world, different funding mechanisms, the impact of different policies, the global project landscape and lessons learnt from projects in development, and novel technologies and pathways as routes to reduce cost and carbon intensity.
