    What are SAF TALKS?

    Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) continues to be recognized as a crucial solution for driving down the CO2 emissions of the aviation industry. Despite this, SAF currently only accounts for around 1% of the global jet fuel consumption. 

    SAF is no longer just an idea from clever people in lab coats. It’s a must for low-carbon travel. To fuel knowledge sharing of what it'll take to scale-up SAF, we've composed a new season of SAF TalksTM filmed during our third SAF Summit in Copenhagen in December 2024.

    In these videos, leading figures from across the SAF value chain share their latest insights and developments. The industry is far from static, with numerous advancements and innovations actively taking place. We invite you to explore these discussions and stay informed about the dynamic progress within the SAF industry.

    SAF Talks Season 3, E2 - Max Held of Project Sky Power

    In SAF Talks Season 3, Episode 2, Maximilian Held, Aviation Lead at Systemiq and Coordinator of Project SkyPower, discusses the initiative’s mission to support final investment decisions for large-scale e-SAF plants by 2025. 


    e-SAF, a sustainable aviation fuel from renewable electricity, aims to reduce the aviation industry’s carbon emissions. Despite challenges like perceived regulatory uncertainty and financial risks, Project SkyPower unites over 50 European organizations to scale e-SAF production.

     
    Held outlines the project’s 10-point action plan, emphasizing the urgency of the next one to two years to meet the 2030 ReFue EU Aviation e-SAF mandate. By 2050, the global e-SAF market could be worth €350 billion, and Europe could position itself as a leader in sustainable fuel production technology.
