Brazil's SAF pathway: aligning mandates and market mechanisms
Brazil is positioning itself as a future global SAF hub through an emissions-based mandate focused on lifecycle carbon reductions rather than fixed blending targets. This article from ApexBrasil explores how Brazil’s flexible policy framework, combined with its government-backed CS-SAF book & claim system, could accelerate SAF market development, improve supply chain efficiency, and support global aviation decarbonisation efforts.

Scaling Sustainable Aviation Fuel for a Global Future
The path to SAF scale is uneven across regions, shaped by differences in policy, investment capacity, natural resources, and industrial infrastructure. Understanding these regional dynamics, while recognising the critical success factors that define viable SAF plants, is essential to building a global ecosystem.
7 lessons from the first year of ReFuelEU’s 2025 SAF mandate
SAF may be delivered, compliant and paid for, yet still fail to deliver expected regulatory value. Drawing on SITA’s Breaking Net Zero Silos session, this article explores seven lessons from the first ReFuelEU reporting round, exposing how misaligned rules, documentation, timing and data processes are undermining airline claims.
One year on: Lessons from the Airbus Book & Claim Demonstrator
Airbus believes that book and claim mechanisms can play a crucial role in increasing voluntary demand for SAF. To pur this conviction into practice, they launched the Airbus Book & Claim Demonstrator in March of 2025. So, one year on, how did it go, and what have we learned so far?
Coprocessing and refinery integration present a rapid and lower cost opportunity for SAF production
SAF production is not taking place at a fast enough pace to meet climate commitments. While hundreds of announcements for new facilities have been made, only about only 31% of announced SAF production capacity out to 2030 has reached at least a final investment decision. A co-processing strategy to make SAF in existing petroleum refineries can offer a near-term solution...
Is SAF the Ticket Out of the Fossil Fuel ‘Strait’jacket?
Rising jet fuel prices and geopolitical disruption are exposing aviation’s dependence on fragile fossil fuel supply chains. Read on to learn more about how domestic SAF production, stronger policy support and investment in advanced feedstocks and eFuels can help protect airlines from future volatility.
European SAF market faces oversupply through 2029, analyst warns
European SAF producers could face margin pressure through 2029 as new capacity outpaces mandate-driven demand. With imported supply growing and Neste’s Rotterdam expansion alone set to meet much of EU demand, Barclays warns oversupply may weigh on prices and producer economics.
Meet the SAFTAs Finalists
In this edition of SAF Spotlight, and again next month, we’re introducing a selection of this year’s finalists, sharing the stories behind their progress, the partnerships that made it possible, and why they’re the people, projects, and businesses moving the industry forward.
Europe’s Race to Build the Net-Zero Supply Chain: SAF pathways, eFuels, and hydrogen convergence
As mandates drive demand, Europe must scale advanced biofuels, eFuels, hydrogen, carbon infrastructure and certification systems together. This article explores how policy alignment, cross-sector collaboration and investment will determine whether Europe can build a credible net-zero fuels supply chain.
Women in SAF: Building a community to shape the future of sustainable aviation
We're delighted to announce the launch of Women in SAF as a space for connection, mentorship, and collective action. In this first SAF Spotlight feature, we explore what the group hopes to achieve both for women in the industry, and the industry itself.
Why China Could Shape the Next Phase of the Global SAF Market
China is emerging as one of the most important markets in the future of sustainable aviation fuel. But why now, and what role could it play in the global SAF transition? This article explores the opportunity, the challenges, and why we’re launching Sustainable Aviation Futures China Congress this September!
From Concept to Commissioning: How to get SAF projects over the line
In this 60 minute webinar, our panel of experts from SkyNRG, INERATEC, White & Case, Zaffra, ERM, and Future Energy Global, discussed what makes SAF projects financeable, technology readiness vs. speed to market, policy incentives and location decisions and execution, risk and scaling beyond FOAK.
The SAFTAs: Why now, and what the judges want to see
Ahead of the judging phase of the inaugural SAFTAs, we asked our expert judges a simple set of questions: what’s exciting them most in the sector right now, why these awards matter at this moment, and what “credible progress” looks like.
EV Constraints Are Accelerating the eFuel Transition: New Study Maps eFuel Potential
The EU could be entirely free of fossil fuels by 2046 - replaced by renewable alternatives. That is a central finding of a new study by the eFuel Alliance and Porsche Consulting, which assesses the potential of eFuels across the European transport sector. Read on to learn more...
Unlocking capital – learning from a high-flying industry
A perennial challenge in the SAF world is the mismatch between project developers looking for long-term revenue certainty and offtakers not wanting to commit beyond the short term. There’s discussion about how policymakers can bring certainty via revenue certainty mechanisms and double-sided auctions, but there is also plenty to learn from other industries. Read on to learn more...
