Freedom and mobility are of paramount importance to our open societies – preserving these achievements well into the future requires a fast transition to Net Zero Aviation. Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) are a key instrument to solve this challenge. To support the use of SAF, blending mandates are currently put in place in the United Kingdom and other regions. But how does the UK ensure the availability of sufficient production volumes to fulfill their blending mandate and how is this supported by the revenue certainty mechanism?

In this webinar, Jonathon Counsell (IAG), and Josh Garton (Green Finance Institute), will share their experiences by giving an overview of the UK SAF regulation in general and the new revenue certainty mechanism that is under consultation right now.

Jonathon Counsell, Group Sustainability Officer of the International Airlines Group, will cover the UK Jet Zero Strategy which will support UK´s goal to reach net zero emissions by 2050 and the upcoming regulation on SAF in the UK.

Josh Garton, Head of Financial & Investment Analysis at the Green Finance Institute, will present the revenue certainty mechanism as part of the UK Jet Zero Strategy. With help of the mechanism the UK will try to attract private investment and enable SAF projects to be deployed at scale in the UK.

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, which can be produced from biogenic as well as power-based resources. Among the power-based conversion pathways, the Fischer-Tropsch and Methanol-to-Jet route currently perceive a lot of interest. However, most of their techno-economical parameters such as energy and carbon efficiency and further resource demands are not clear yet.

In this webinar, Stefan Bube and Steffen Voß from the Institute of Environmental Technology and Energy Economics of Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) will share the results from their latest publication comparing SAF production via the Fischer-Tropsch and Methanol-to-Jet route, respectively. After very briefly specifying the process steps of both routes, detailed process analyses are carried out and the pros and cons of each pathway will be highlighted.

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. However current supply is inadequate and heavy investment will be required to address growing demand and fulfil regulatory targets. With a potential future demand of about 325 million tons of SAF to achieve net zero by 2050, roughly €1,000 billion in capital expenditure will be needed simply to establish SAF refineries – offering in return attractive profits to active players given the rising supply-demand gap.

In this webinar, Dr. Jan Wille and Anna Went from PwC Strategy& will share the results from their latest study about the potential of Sustainable Aviation Fuels. After outlining the current SAF market dynamics and investment requirements, it will be discussed which roadblocks are hindering the ramp-up and what it takes to overcome them. As an outlook it will be concluded how the new SAF ecosystem evolves, what roles different industry players will play and how new business models can help to finally unlock the potential of SAF.

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. To ensure their timely market ramp-up, it is crucial to design SAF accounting models in a way that best help facilitate scale-up of production, access additional demand, as well as provide for high environmental integrity of SAF claims.

In this webinar, Dr. Andreas Mündel (DHL Group), and Thomas Bock (ISCC System GmbH) will share their experiences in introducing a credit transfer (“book-and-claim”) system for the monitoring, reporting, verification and accounting of emissions reductions by using SAF.
