Resources from Industry Forum on sustainable aviation fuel
The Supergen Bioenergy Hub Industry Forum met on Monday 13 April at the University of Sheffield to examine all aspects of the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) value chain, including feedstock supply, fuel production, end usage, technology challenges and sustainability questions.
The forum presented an opportunity to share technical information on challenges and opportunities in SAF with other commercial and academic actors in the sector.
Presentation slides are available to download below. Findings from the day will be collated into a briefing paper outlining current challenges, potential solutions, areas for future research and collaboration opportunities.
