Sustainable Aviation Fuels: How airlines and investors can maximize value from SAFs
A practical discussion for airlines, airports, policymakers and investors.
This webinar is for airlines who have experience with SAFs, and for Å·²©ÓéÀÖ investment community who already invest or are looking to invest in SAFs.
Armed with a better understanding of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ properties of SAFs, including Å·²©ÓéÀÖ advantages and risks associated with each certified pathway, Å·²©ÓéÀÖ financing methods available, Å·²©ÓéÀÖ various supporting regulations, and Å·²©ÓéÀÖ implications of potential future policy changes, airlines and investors should be better prepared to increase SAF usage and/or investment.
But cost is a barrier. We believe that Å·²©ÓéÀÖ aviation industry can decrease Å·²©ÓéÀÖ cost differential between SAFs and conventional fuels by (1) gradually increasing Å·²©ÓéÀÖ variety and scale of SAF investments and offtake commitments, and (2) leveraging regulatory, reputational, and first-to-market advantages. By embracing Å·²©ÓéÀÖse actions, Å·²©ÓéÀÖ industry can achieve a much higher uptake and make a crucial step toward a more sustainable recovery.
Experts from Å·²©ÓéÀÖ International Air Transport Association (IATA), Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Air Transport Action Group (ATAG), and ICF discuss:
- How an airline can maximize its SAF value stack.
- The range of SAF-related financing methods available to airlines.
- The different financial characteristics of each certified SAF pathway technology.
- The implications of future policy changes (e.g. blending mandates) on future SAF demand and availability.
- Lessons learned from California, and how Å·²©ÓéÀÖse may inform policy elsewhere.
