Decarbonising Flight: Advancing Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Join us for a timely webinar exploring the latest developments in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), e-fuels, and power-to-liquid (PtL), and what they mean for future domestic and international air travel in the UK. With the SAF mandate now live, requiring fuel suppliers to blend 2% SAF with conventional jet fuel, a revenue certainty mechanism in development, and over £65 million recently awarded to next-generation production projects, we will discuss the key next steps needed to translate investment and revenue certainty into tangible sector progress.

Building on the findings from the NextGen Aviation Pathfinder roundtable in May, we will also explore potential benefits and pitfalls for a technology-agnostic approach to fuel development and how emerging models of public-private collaboration and infrastructure innovation can unlock a fully connected net zero aviation network. The Pathfinder also revealed the critical importance of embedding aviation decarbonisation into regional energy strategies, empowering airports as future clean energy hubs and rethinking how we invest in the places that will power the next generation of flight.

This session will bring together industry experts to discuss the most promising SAF and PtL pathways now in motion – from waste-to-jet and ethanol-to-jet, to synthetic fuels built from captured carbon and green hydrogen. We’ll also explore how these developments can align with route development, aircraft innovation, and policy frameworks to contribute to aviation decarbonisation – critical fr meeting our net zero targets.

Whether you're a fuel supplier, airport, airline, policymaker, or investor, this webinar will give you a front-row view of how the UK is reshaping the aviation landscape, and how you can be part of building a cleaner, smarter, and more resilient air network.

This session is part of the Foresight Webinar Series, offering insight and analysis on key technologies and policies shaping the future of clean energy and industry in the UK - building toward the in-person Foresight Event early next year.
