SAF & Water: Enabling NetZero Aviation

Supported by Evides Industriewater and Arup, this webinar explores the critical role of water in scaling sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production across the UK. SAF represents one of the most credible and near-term pathways to decarbonising aviation, yet its large-scale deployment depends on access to reliable, well-planned water infrastructure for processing, refining, and operational resilience.

As the UK accelerates efforts to build a domestic SAF industry, water availability, reuse, and integration into regional infrastructure planning will be decisive factors in determining where and how projects succeed. With the right strategies in place, water can shift from a perceived constraint to a core enabler of a competitive, low-carbon aviation fuel sector.

This session will address:

• What are the water requirements of SAF production, and how do they evolve as capacity scales?

• How can water reuse, recycling, and integrated resource planning reduce pressure on local water supplies?

• What partnerships are required between SAF producers, airports, utilities, and planners to deliver sustainable aviation at scale?
