- 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?
