The #US and #Germany are leading according to the quantity of sustainable aviation fuel (#SAF) projects.   As stated in CENA SAF-Outlook 2024-2030 https://lnkd.in/e7HS-uZy: 📌 144 SAF projects were identified in 33 countries worldwide in the period between May and October 2023. 📌 Overall, 49 % of the projects are located on the European continent, 28% in North America and 14% in Asia. 📌 More than a third of the projects are located in the #USA (34) and #Germany (20). This is followed by the #UK (12) and the #Netherlands (11).

This was the room everybody wanted to be in yesterday! With investors representing circa £1 trillion of Assets Under Management, big corporates investing in innovation and excellent curation by Matthew Alabaster and the PwC team - it was a lively, serious but importantly - a grown up discussion on how to fund this energy transition. Huge thanks to PwC for inviting us - the only start-up in the room! Our Founder Ricky Sandhu followed the European Investment Bank (EIB) on stage and was joined by; - Ram Ramachander from Hitachi ZeroCarbon - Stephen Smith from National Grid - Gerado Montella from Naturgy and - Anna McGinley from PwC Ricky said: "Urban-Air Port with our shareholders and long-term strategic partners have fully stepped into realising this energy transition with our focus on enabling the reduction of transport emissions (29% of all global emissions) through our infrastructure technology. Everyone has to take responsibility & invest - we have developed the worlds most advanced, multi-patented & multi-modal landing & charging #vertiport technology for advanced air mobility - allowing cities to seriously begin to think of how electric aviation & #evtol can form part of our daily lives, providing alternative zero emission journeys to citizens."

The Queensland Energy Club is excited to welcome key note speaker, Fiona Walmsley General Manager Sustainability Virgin Australia, on Thursday 29 August 2024, at the Hilton Brisbane. Fiona will speak about how Virgin Australia is considering sustainability – how the airline is working to address customer expectations on sustainability, and the decarbonisation imperative, whilst being conscious of the need to maintain affordability of air travel. In particular, the challenge of SAF – a necessary and proven technology, however with a significant economic challenge to overcome, as it costs between 2-5 times more than traditional aviation fuel.  Seats are limited.  To book: https://lnkd.in/gaKvt_8F   #Sustainability #sustainableaviation #ESG  #decarbonisation   #sustainableaviationfuel  #SAF #sustainableairtravel  #aviation    #cleanenergy  #renewables #renewableenergy #innovation  #environment

Saudi Arabia has ordered eight Candela P-12 electric hydrofoil passenger vessels, the world’s first zero-emission ships, for its NEOM city project. This is the largest order ever for the Stockholm-based company. The Candela P-12, launched last year, is set to start serving Stockholm's public transport in fall 2024. These vessels fly above the water on computer-controlled hydrofoils, cutting energy use by 80% compared to traditional ships. The P-12 can travel at 25 knots (28.77 mph) and has over two hours of battery life. It carries up to 30 passengers, lifts above the water at take-off speed, and uses a 252-kWh battery for its power. Smaller and faster than other vessels, the P-12 allows for more frequent departures and quicker travel times.

Today the Australian Airports Association (AAA) responded to the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, and Regional Development's consultation paper on low-carbon liquid fuels.   As we strive for a greener aviation sector, we believe in a comprehensive approach that supports both demand and supply-side initiatives for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).   Here are our key points:   Demand-Side Incentives: We advocate for a minimum level of SAF to be mandated for use in the aviation industry by 2030. This will drive demand and encourage investment in on-shore SAF production, ensuring Australia leads in sustainable aviation.   Supply-Side Incentives: We propose production tax credits and a regulatory framework incentivising producers to establish on-shore SAF facilities to support domestic production. This will secure a stable supply for the domestic market and foster industry growth.   Prioritising SAF Over Renewable Diesel: In the short term, prioritising SAF production over renewable diesel is crucial. This will kickstart the SAF market, positioning Australia to meet the 2030 mandate and beyond.   Together, we can build a sustainable future for aviation. Let's work towards reducing our carbon footprint and making Australian airports leaders in environmental stewardship ♻ Read our submission here: https://lnkd.in/guXY9fg6   #SustainableAviation #LowCarbonFuels #GreenFuture #AustralianAirport

South Africa Soars Towards Sustainable Aviation with Potential for SAF Leadership The sky over South Africa may soon show the signs of a more ecologically friendly aviation future. Based on the potential for the country to become a global leader in the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), the International Air Transport Association (IATA) is urging the government to seize this “win-win-win” scenario for decarbonized air travel, energy transition, and economic expansion. An objective that aligns with SAF’s is the global aviation industry’s commitment to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Not only is SAF necessary to accomplish this goal, but IATA also emphasizes its broader benefits. By creating new jobs in the energy, transportation, and agricultural sectors, a robust domestic SAF industry can strengthen South Africa’s economy and increase its energy independence. https://lnkd.in/dJYa2xTj

Supporting customers with their greatest decarbonisation challenges is key to accelerating progress towards net-zero. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) can be blended at a ratio of up to 50% with conventional jet fuel. It can be used by the aviation industry immediately and is key to enabling decarbonisation at scale today.    Watch this video to see how Emirates, one of the world's largest airlines, is working with Shell to make SAF available at more airports across the globe.
