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.
Accelerating Sustainable Fuels & Feedstocks via Digital Design
Emerging sustainable fuel technologies, are complex systems vital for meeting global clean fuel demands. Despite their potential, commercial deployment remains challenging, with many high-profile projects struggling to scale. Siemens addresses this by leveraging its Digital Process Twin, read on to learn more...
Report: Cacophony to symphony - Successfully scaling sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) are the most powerful tool available today to decarbonise aviation, but scale-up is a long road. Understanding the unique challenges faced across the value chain is the key to progress…
SAF in North America: Four Years of Growth, Policy Shifts, and What Comes Next
The SAF North America congress has reached its 4th edition this year, and the U.S. is set to lead global production. Read on to discover how far the industry has come over the last 4 years, and the role SAF North America Congress has played in that growth.
Fueling the Future: SAF Investment Opportunities in a Changing Landscape
Right now, the trajectory for sustainable aviation fuel (or SAF) is being questioned in some quarters. In this article, Kurt Stache, Partner at SkiesFifty, explores the path forward, and how early-movers and visionary investors are best placed to support scale.
It Takes Radical Collaboration to Decarbonize Aviation
SAF is critical to aviation’s decarbonization, but who should pay for it is an ongoing challenge. This article explores how SAF certificates could redistribute the burden across the value chain, unlocking progress through smarter cost-sharing between airlines, corporates, and governments.
The Solution to SAF’s Most Looming Challenge: the HEFA Feedstock Ceiling
HEFA is today’s only proven commercial SAF technology, but its growth is limited by feedstock constraints. While the industry bets on long-term alternatives, BioVeritas offers a near-term breakthrough. Discover how their process expands HEFA feedstock supply, unlocking immediate SAF scalability. The future of decarbonized aviation might be closer than we think.
