About
Join the UK Government for a panel discussion between leaders from across the aviation sector, civil society, academia and finance on the importance, benefits and barriers to global Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) growth, and as we present the progress the UK has made in driving the supply and demand for SAF and supporting wider aviation decarbonisation. Prof Rob Miller and Dr Paul Hodgson will present at this event.
The Aviation Impact Accelerator will demonstrate one of their whole-system modelling tools which provides a holistic view of the aviation sector to make appropriate and evidence-based choices over time that minimise the industry’s resource requirements, costs and climate impact. This demonstration will focus on SAF, demonstrating the scale of resources required for SAF production, their potential to significantly reduce the climate impact of aviation and how the cost of SAF production could fall with time with greater investment in R&D and the scaling-up of production. The session will also link SAF scale-up to the importance of also focusing on contrail mitigation and driving fuel efficiency.
Attendance
This event is open to all Blue Zone-accredited attendees.
