It was a real pleasure joining the panel on "How can the Power to Liquids industry drive forward and scale over the next two decades" at Sustainable Aviation Futures' SAF Congress yesterday! Together with esteemed colleagues Jo Dardenne, Aviation Director, Transport & Environment (T&E), Dan Matuszak, Chief Technology Officer, Aviation Climate Taskforce, Benoit Decourt, co-founder and Partner for Products, Sustainability, and Public Affairs at Elyse Energy and moderated by Tudy Bernier, Policy Director, CO2 Value Europe, we discussed, among others: 💧 We don't get to a scaled-up Power to Liquids (PtL) industry without serious collaboration - and ultimately co-funding - across the private and public sectors, with participation from CSOs like SASHA that ensure EU policies remain ambitious. 🤝 Such a collaborative approach must dovetail on EU policies that not only drive funds to the right places but also inspire and incentivise private investment to facilitate innovation. First and foremost such financing must be directed to hydrogen-derived e-fuels as the only truly sustainable aviation solution. ♻ We are less than a generation from our climate targets' deadline. The time is now to invest and innovate. EU regulations like Refuel EU are not as ambitious as we would like them to be, but we should view them not as *maximum* standards but bare *minimum* standards. #SAF #SustainableAviationFuels #DecarboniseAviation #efuels #aviation #climate #environment
