SAF supply expansion will require a huge amount of investment, and is a huge investment opportunity but what are the pros and cons of the different feedstocks and manufacturing methods? What does the future cost curve look like? Who is putting in money now?

Jan Toschka

• SAFs – are they a stop gap to hydrogen and electric and not the sustainable answer?
• Can aviation meet net-zero ambitions through the use of SAFs?
• How to bring down costs to build demand - e.g. Carbon credits
• Carrot or stick – what’s the most effective way to scale up production? What role will other fuels play?
• How much is the SAF dial moving?
• Is the 2% blending mandate at the EU level achievable by 2025? 5% by 2030?
• Are we going to see uneven SAF availability conditioned by airport infrastructure in the early years: higher use in major airports but lower use in smaller airports?

Independent consultant, .

• Are you meeting investor/airline/lessor standards?
• Are these aligned or does a different customer require different standards?
• How does this affect pricing and forecasts?
• Are you embracing new tech?
• Is start-up OEMs with low or zero-emission products available for entry into service in the coming years?
• Technological change favours challenges to the incumbents, so it may be a good idea to start considering them?
