Most SAF projects that fail to reach FID do not fail because of the technology. They fail because of the commercial structure. Which was either not engineered correctly, or was never structured to meet lender requirements in the first place. But what does this look like from inside a live SAF offtake negotiation? Read on to find out...

Canada possesses natural resources, a skilled workforce, and industrial capabilities. These elements form a foundation for the transition from kerosene to SAF. Yet, when we discuss it, the immediate question always points back to the business case. Relying on the environmental benefits of SAF won't secure the capital to build commercial-scale facilities. This article asks the questions: does it make financial sense?

In this 60 minute recorded webinar, our panel of experts explored the latest policy instruments and their impact in the APAC SAF market, where feedstock hubs are emerging, looking at the current HEFA market and opportunities beyond, and looking at what would they change in the industry.

Over the course of an hour, a panel of experts explore how state-level incentives are shaping SAF project development, investment decisions, and regional competitiveness, the role of SAF hubs in connecting feedstocks, production, infrastructure, airports, and demand, what makes a state attractive for SAF producers, airlines, financiers, and technology partners, and more.

In most commodity markets, value is driven by price, quality and availability. Sustainable fuel markets are changing that equation. Two fuel batches can have similar costs and performance yet generate very different commercial outcomes. The difference increasingly lies not in the fuel itself, but in the environmental attributes attached to it. Read on to learn more...

North America has the renewable resources, industrial infrastructure and technology developers to become a major producer of efuels. eSAF will not replace bio-based SAF in the immediate market - HEFA, AtJ, gasification and more will all build meaningful North American supply. But efuels are becoming strategically important now, because the projects that could supply the early 2030s must reach key development, contracting and construction milestones much sooner.

Syntholene’s geothermal-integrated hydrogen platform could offer a lower-electricity route to eSAF production, combining solid oxide electrolysis with heat recovery and dynamic stack operation. This report examines the technology’s efficiency potential, commercial differentiators, Húsavík demonstration progress, and remaining risks around electricity pricing, durability, and full-scale validation.

A KLM Cityhopper flight between Amsterdam and Hamburg has demonstrated that synthetic aviation fuel produced from renewable hydrogen and CO₂ can already be integrated into regular passenger operations. The flight also underlined the urgent need to move from technical readiness to industrial-scale production. Read on to learn more...

Today’s SAF producers have navigated that landscape to deliver a growing number of Final Investment Decisions, overwhelmingly utilizing the HEFA pathway via a mix of both revamp and grassroots projects. The next wave of project FIDs will likely be comprised of the “all of the above” SAF strategy including First-Of-A-Kind (FOAK) Alcohol-to-Jet (ATJ), biogas-to-fuels, and biomass gasification + Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) projects. Read on to learn more...

The SAF transition will be defined by technologies that are yet to reach commercial maturity, but require investment and support today and in the decades to come to pick up the slack when current production methods can no longer meet the quantities needed. AtJ one of those production methods, but even it has it's challenges. Here's why Airbus sees it as a strong contender...

In this expert interview, Steven Gillard, Regional Sustainability Director for Europe and Middle East, Turkiye, Africa and Central Asia at Boeing, shares why eFuels are a critical tool in aviation's decarbonisation kit, and how new drivers around energy security might just be what the industry needs to innovate.

The consensus opinion of SAF experts is that one of the long-term SAF growth pillars will be the utilization of abundant, low-cost, waste biomass via the Gasification and Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) pathway. However, the history of that pathway is filled with the remains of unsuccessful commercialization attempts. Read on to learn how partnerships can overcome these challenges...
