A New Era for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Governance A notable transformation is underway in the global aviation sector. The formation of a new not-for-profit body, the Civil Aviation Decarbonization Organization based in Montreal, marks a significant step toward harmonizing and scaling the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel across the globe. […]

A Major Leap Toward Clean Skies In a landmark move for the aviation industry, Farnborough Airport in the United Kingdom has taken a decisive step toward cleaner skies. The airport has entered into a strategic offtake agreement for 12.5 million litres of sustainable aviation fuel with Hydrogen Refinery, a pioneering

A Quiet Revolution on the Tarmac The global push for decarbonisation is reshaping aviation’s future. With electric, hybrid-electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft approaching commercial maturity, a quiet yet profound transformation is underway—not just in the skies but on the ground. Airports are increasingly recognised not only as transit nodes but as

A Price Tag with Purpose This year, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) released the 2024 reference prices for aviation fuels under the ReFuelEU Aviation regulation. More than a routine update, this pricing reveals a deeper narrative: sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is no longer a future ambition—it is the

How an Upgraded CO2 Calculator Strengthens Aviation’s Sustainable Fuel Effort A Shift Toward Accountability and Precision As aviation embraces decarbonization, the question on many minds—corporate and individual alike—is simple: how much difference does sustainable aviation fuel really make? For years, this answer was vague. But now, a quiet leap forward

Understanding Contrails Beyond the Vapour Contrails are the streaks of cloud that trail behind high-flying aircraft. While they appear harmless, research now confirms their significant role in trapping heat in the atmosphere. These high-altitude clouds, formed in ice-supersaturated regions, reflect solar radiation but also retain Earth’s heat. This warming impact

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is a key component of decarbonizing the aviation industry. However, many companies struggle with the complexities of acquiring and utilizing it. World Fuel Services has introduced a solution that aims to simplify the process—myWorld Decarbonize Tool. This innovative platform streamlines SAF purchases via book and claim,

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has taken another bold step toward corporate decarbonization with its latest draft of the Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2. This revision seeks to remove longstanding barriers to effective emissions reduction while ensuring that businesses worldwide can set and achieve their sustainability goals with greater clarity

A Step Forward in Aviation Decarbonization Aviation is making significant strides toward a sustainable future. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has introduced a key enhancement to its CO2 Connect emissions calculator. This improvement integrates Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) accounting, providing a more transparent view of the carbon reductions achieved

A Bold Step Towards Sustainable Aviation Europe’s aviation industry has taken a significant leap forward by publishing a toolkit designed to accelerate the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This initiative, backed by key players including airlines, airports, and manufacturers, aims to strengthen Europe’s energy independence and establish a competitive

As aviation enters a new year, 2025 is already shaping up to be a transformative period for environmental and regulatory compliance. With the European Union’s Refuel Aviation Regulation and the UK Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Mandate taking effect, alongside a new administration in the United States, the global aviation sector

Aviation remains a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, yet federal policies in the United States have largely failed to address its impact. As the urgency to decarbonize aviation grows, some state policymakers are exploring independent solutions. These initiatives focus on integrating sustainable aviation fuels, which have a lower

Sustainable aviation fuel is gaining momentum as a critical solution for reducing emissions from air travel. In 2025, SABA is introducing two targeted procurement strategies to help corporate buyers secure short-term and long-term sustainable aviation fuel supplies. By focusing on flexibility, transparency, and scalability, these procurement streams will help companies

Aviation is at a turning point. As global pressure to reduce emissions intensifies, the European Union has introduced the ReFuelEU Aviation policy—an ambitious step toward a sustainable future for air travel. While sustainability in aviation has long been a challenge, this policy introduces a structured and forward-thinking approach to reducing

The aviation sector is on a long and challenging journey toward achieving net zero by 2050, with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) playing a key role in reducing emissions. Under the Biden administration, SAF production received significant support, but with the return of Donald Trump to the presidency, the future of
