In a significant move toward environmental sustainability, Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA) has partnered with Airports Council International (ACI) Asia-Pacific & Middle East to develop a comprehensive Net Zero Roadmap. Through this collaboration, the airport aims to achieve Net Zero emissions, setting a new benchmark for sustainability in aviation. The […]
In the ongoing battle against climate change, the aviation industry has faced significant challenges in reducing its carbon footprint. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) has long been hailed as a promising solution, but logistical and financial hurdles have slowed its adoption. However, the introduction of SAF Certificates (SAFc) offers a new
The climate crisis is undeniably a pressing global issue, and militaries across the world have begun to recognize its far-reaching implications. However, the intersection of climate change and national security is often framed through the lens of “climate securitization,” where climate change is treated as a threat multiplier to national
In a continued effort to prioritize safety, the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has made remarkable progress in reducing both heat-related injuries and vehicle accident rates in 2023. According to figures presented by Senior Minister of State for Defence Heng Chee How, heat exhaustion injuries among servicemen fell from seven cases
The Port of Rotterdam, already a leader in sustainability initiatives, is taking a significant leap forward in green aviation with the announcement of a €1.5 billion investment in a new sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) plant. Power2X and Advario are behind this transformative project, expected to become operational by 2030. The
In a groundbreaking collaboration, Kansas farmers and Delta Airlines are exploring how agriculture can play a key role in the future of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Facilitated by the Kansas Farm Bureau, the dialogue between two major industries—agriculture and aviation—has opened new doors for sustainable fuel production. Delta representatives recently

As Hong Kong strives to maintain its status as a global aviation hub, industry leaders and sustainability experts stress the urgent need for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) policies and investments. With 98% of the aviation sector’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions coming from jet fuel use, SAF is seen as critical
As airlines prepare for the first voluntary phase of the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), many are facing growing confusion over the carbon credits they can purchase to meet their emissions obligations. Trafigura Group, a global leader in carbon trading, recently highlighted concerns about the lack
The recent decision by Uniper and Sasol to cancel the ambitious 200MW hydrogen-based sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) project, SkyFuelH2, in Sweden has raised important questions about the current state of green hydrogen initiatives and the aviation industry’s sustainability goals. The cancellation, attributed to slow market development, regulatory challenges, and rising
The aviation industry has taken another step forward in its sustainability journey, thanks to groundbreaking research from the Argonne National Laboratory. Scientists at Argonne have developed a revolutionary technology—membrane-assisted anaerobic digestion (MAAD)—that converts organic waste streams into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). This innovative process could reduce aviation-related greenhouse gas (GHG)
