Webinar #1 · Environmental impact of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF)

The aviation sector has set itself the goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, an enormous challenge. Miguel Ángel Romero Mora, research lead and sustainability professional at CarbonBox, presents the results of his award-winning study on how Colombia can produce sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) from residual biomass —used cooking oil, oil palm residues and pine— and what that would mean for our carbon footprint.

The session walks through why aviation needs cleaner fuels and the current picture of its emissions, how Life Cycle Assessment reveals the true environmental impact of these fuels, the critical points of SAF production (including the need for hydrogen from renewable sources) and the emission reductions compared with conventional fuels.
