If you happen to wonder, what the aviation industry truly thinks about de-carbonization - and why I believe we MUST establish Kolibri (with a sound SAF strategy) as a lighthouse to prove the nay-sayers wrong. #dontfeedthedinosaurs #dontchooseextinction #aviationfinance #sustainableaviation #sustainabilityenergydilemma #industrialscalechange #disruptivetechnologies P.S. Reminder. #SAF as #sustainableaviationfuels ain't necessarily sustainable. And it's mostly associated to (blended) #biofuels. We have a different strategy, to operate more than 200 aircraft in 10 years 100% #fossilfree. Though no #impactinvestors yet up to learn how we plan to profitably manage that challenge... Or to fund #fossilfreeaviation This won't happen overnight, but we could make it in half the time with "unlimited funding" (something like 1.5 billion Euro), but on a commercially sound strategy, 10 years are realistic and #noheresy. And yes, we have the numbers and business plan to explain. With tight #riskmanagement to #minimizeresidualrisk to virtually a no-brainer profit-investment. A real #impactinvesting with #nogreenwashing and #noraisinpicking. #talkthetalk or help us #walkthetalk? Snowball World Fund Daniela Gillian Danijel Tim UN Climate Change BlackRock

This week, Michael O'Leary slammed #SAF. A man who doesn't mince his words, he oftentimes shares what most think but wouldn't dare to air. Decarbonising aviation is a gigantic task. SAF will not solve the problem as governments will tax emissions to encourage SAF demand and other innovations, but supply will not keep up. Assuming OEM supply issues start to alleviate, older, less fuel efficient aircraft values will be hit. The time for lessors to be assessing and hedging carbon-induced residual value risk is now. No more smoke and mirrors. Watch this ⬇ #diversification #euets #carbonmanagement #aviationfinance

The aviation industry is committed to significantly reducing emissions. How can we ensure that this commitment is credible in the face of ever-increasing air passenger numbers? Deep dive into the topic in our Episode 1 of the latest #NesteImpact webinar - https://bit.ly/4crWSFL And join us online for Episode 2, on the 2nd of July 👉  https://bit.ly/3zjAAHO #Neste #NesteImpact #SAF #SustainableAviation

Did you know that there are only 8 approved #SAF pathways cleared for use in aircraft? These pathways are definitely not the same as feedstocks (as tempting as it may be to assume that they are). There in fact 42 approved feedstocks for these 8 pathways. There are plans afoot to get more pathways and feedstocks added which is very much needed to ensure the SAF sector supports to the aviation sector in the decades ahead. This is testament to the difficulty in the aviation sector's #energytransition. As for now, CirculAIRity will stick with our drop-in SAF pathway and continue move at pace.. #SAF #sustainableaviation #sustainableaviationfuel #avgeek #airlines

A snapshot of air traffic mid-Atlantic this afternoon seems to illustrate the recovery of the air transport industry since COVID. Good for my friend David Breach and Caleb Brett’s aviation fuel testing services. Not so good for the environment. The sooner we transition to Sustanable Aviation fuel (SAF) the better in my opinion. #aviation #fuels #sustainability

Last year 90 times more #SAF was sold than actually produced (not a typo). This one graphic illustrates the sheer scale of the challenges ahead of the #aviation sector's #energytransition. This is an order of magnitude away from where the #aviationindustry needs to be. It does simultaneously speaks volumes of the aspiration and action already taking place to make these ambitious goals a reality. CirculAIRity are immensely proud of the work we are doing to pave a way for large scale, 3rd generation SAF production. Thank you TheGlobalEconomy.com, International Civil Aviation Organization, and International Air Transport Association (IATA) for the data sources. #sustainableaviation #sustainableaviationfuel #airlines #avgeek

Aviation Regulatory Update: April 30, 2024. The FAA announced on April 26 a new rule to reduce carbon particle emissions from aircraft engines. The rule sets limits on the amount of emissions allowed and is intended to reduce the impact of contrails on the climate. The rule is aligned with international standards and will help achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Read more from the FAA and check out the new rule here: https://lnkd.in/gNpyr5v2

Aviation groups are demanding more action from EU officials following the updated net-zero 2050 goal and stress that they should be given priority to feedstocks. #SAF #aviationindustry #aviationfuel #feedstocks

A major challenge to using SAF is its availability. Until there is guaranteed availability, airplane engines (and the seals within them) need to work with both fossil fuels and SAF. At this point, there is no reliability as to what type of fuel may be available when a plane needs to re-fuel. The plane could fill up with SAF but then need to re-fuel with fossil fuels at the next destination. This means there would be a mixture of fuels going through the engine and that the elastomers would need to work with both fuel types. Research continues. https://prker.co/3OsQ1lg #Aviation #SAF
