Freedom and mobility play a prominent role in today’s society. Maintaining this in the future requires a rapid and sustainable defossilization of the aviation industry. Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) can significantly reduce the climate impact of air traffic. In addition to the HEFA conversion route, several other SAF production paths are now on the way to commercialization.

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Harald Dialer, Chief Commercial Officer of HCS Group and Dietmar Huber, Vice President Power-to-X at Neste. Harald Dialer will present the current activities of the HCS Group to realize a plant for the production of 60,000 tons of alcohol-to-jet kerosene and renewable hydrocarbons. This would be the first plant of this conversion route and scale in Germany. Dietmar Huber will present Neste’s current roadmap (commercialization of eFuel production on an industrial scale by 2030+) in the field of Power-to-X. This includes the construction of a power-to-liquids demonstration plant in Espoo, Finland.

Freedom and mobility are of paramount importance to our open societies – preserving these achievements well into the future requires a fast transition to carbon-neutral aviation. Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) are a key instrument to solve this challenge. Therefore, a steep ramp-up of SAF production capacities is an essential building block of the transition towards carbon-neutral aviation. In this webinar, we will learn more about systemic aspects of the overall transition towards carbon-neutral aviation and about hands-on experiences in initiating the SAF market ramp-up. We are glad that Ram Kamath and Dr. Julia Bauer will share insights from their vast experience in those fields.
