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...

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.

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?

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
