In two weeks, C-SAF's Executive Director Geoffrey Tauvette, will be speaking at Aviation Day presented by International Air Transport Association (IATA) and National Airlines Council of Canada | Conseil national des lignes aériennes du Canada. The Air Canada, Airbus and C-SAF panel, moderated by SimpliFlying, will discuss the current key issues affecting SAF in Canada. To register for this Ottawa event, please see https://lnkd.in/eXYKkSQY

Important insights from the Sustainable Aviation Futures North America Congress highlight critical steps for advancing sustainable aviation in Canada. To drive the growth of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production, Canada needs long-term incentives that offer investment certainty. Additionally, stacking incentives and leveraging credit markets can significantly reduce the costs of SAF, making it a more viable option. By fostering collaboration across the supply chain and with government we can build a robust, predictable policy framework for sustainable fuels that drives innovation and growth. #SustainableAviationFuels #Collaboration #Transportation #SAFNORAM

📢 Did you see IATA's press release this week? Coming in 2025, IATA will launch a matchmaking service for airlines and SAF suppliers. Can't wait to see how this turns out!

🌍 Big News for Nova Scotia and the Future of Energy! 🌱 We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our Canadian Sustainable Fuels Project in Goldboro, Nova Scotia! Formerly proposed as the Goldboro LNG site, this location is now set to become a major Renewable Energy Park (REP). Our project will focus on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) pushing Nova Scotia to the forefront of the clean energy revolution. 🌿 Hugh Kelly, CEO & Co-Founder of Simply Blue Group, says: " We are very excited to be developing the Goldboro site into a renewable energy park. The sustainable aviation fuel that we will produce there will play an essential part in reducing dependence on fossil fuels and combating climate change.” He continued: “SAF is a drop-in fuel that matches the performance of conventional jet fuel while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 90% compared to conventional jet fuel.” Construction begins in 2026, with full operation expected by 2029, creating hundreds of jobs and boosting local economic growth! 🚧💼 Tory Rushton, Minister of Natural Resources and Renewables said: "Nova Scotia is poised to become a leader in green hydrogen. This industry will help us, and our global partners fight climate change, and it will grow our green economy in Nova Scotia with benefits for generations to come. We’re pleased to see Simply Blue Group investing in this budding new industry in Nova Scotia. They’re going to make a big difference in the transportation sector with aviation and marine fuel. And as a new market for our low-grade wood fibre, they will help our forestry sector be healthy and strong.” Michael Galvin, Simply Blue Group’s COO - Hydrogen and Sustainable Fuels said: “It’s great to be finally launching this project. A lot of work has gone on in the background with three years of due-diligence and engineering completed, and we have already signed a supply agreement with Wagner Forest NS Ltd. to act as an agent in sourcing 700,000 tonnes of green biomass per annum.” For more see here  https://lnkd.in/eQfPAyux #SustainableFuels #NovaScotia #Goldboro #ClimateAction #RenewableEnergy #CleanFuture #SAF   

To fully capture our sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) opportunity, Canada must make sure to address the carbon intensity of the feedstocks we use to produce the fuel.

🛫🚀 In the past few years, the production and use of SAF have grown substantially. 👉 International Air Transport Association (IATA) estimated SAF production reached 300-450 million liters in 2022, a significant increase from the 2021 production of 100 million liters. In addition to the increasing availability of SAF, the number of new facilities that have been announced and are under construction should result in an exponential increase in SAF production by 2030.
