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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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. 

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...

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...

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.

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.
