What is Sustainable Aviation Fuel?
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a renewable alternative to traditional jet fuel, designed to significantly reduce aviation’s carbon footprint. It is produced from sustainable feedstocks such as waste oils, agricultural residues, or algae, and can be blended with conventional jet fuel for use in existing aircraft engines without modifications. SAF reduces lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to fossil fuels and plays a critical role in decarbonising aviation while maintaining high safety and performance standards. Regulators face the challenge of balancing SAF’s safety and performance standards with scaling production, certification, and infrastructure to meet sustainability goals.
Course Overview
This training course is intended to give an overview of Sustainable Aviation Fuels, to give an understanding of the main aspects related to production, use and commercialisation. It also gives opportunity to Q&A and to network with other participants in this field.
The aim of this course is to increase the knowledge of aviation stakeholders (airlines, airports, NAAs, Government, etc) not yet working on SAF and wider finance, fuel logistics and agricultural stakeholders wanting to expand their services to SAF.
The course draws on the UK CAA’s experience on ICAO’s SAF Capacity Building Programme, UK’s 100% SAF Flight and Hydrogen Challenge, own learning and experience in aviation sustainability. The course comprises a one-day on-line event, delivered by UK environmental specialists.
This course is aimed at airlines, airports, government officials, regulators, finance institutions, fuel producers, fuel logistics companies and agricultural business individuals seeking an intro to SAF. The course is applicable to both UK and international regulators, operators, airports, fuel producers and agricultural businesses who wish to gain an understanding of how to develop effective practices in the aerospace sector.
Delegates attend a one-day on-line event, where they can develop their skills in practice through interactive face-to-face presentations, group work and questions sessions.
By the end of this course, delegates will:
- Understand what sustainable aviation fuels are and main feedstocks utilised for production
- Acknowledge how to identify if SAF production is feasible
- Acknowledge SAF technology and certification
- Recognise SAF sustainability criteria and reporting
- Have an introductory understanding of SAF Logistics
- Understand the main aspects that are required for SAF business case
This training course will include the following topics:
- An overview of SAF
- Feasibility study – SAF Viability
- SAF Certification
- SAF Sustainability
- SAF Reporting and Accounting
- SAF Logistics
- SAF Business case
There are no pre-requisites to this course.
