SAF investing is sluggish, but what if this is a question of perception on timelines and where the opportunities lie? Other cleaner energy alternatives, such as hydrogen and electric solutions are unlikely to be like-for-like replacements for many current fleets in the next30 years, and therefore is it time to re-evaluate SAF as a long term investment, and not just a bridge fuel to the future. Infrastructure projects supporting manufacturing and delivering SAF are typically 12-15 years, with excellent return profiles, plus you are supporting sustainable aviation. In the time it takes for alternative clean energy sources to come online at scale, you could be involved with 2-3 project finance opportunities.
This roundtable style discussion brings together project finance stakeholders to share insight and expertise when it comes to opportunities for SAF-related investment strategies and where you can support decarbonising the industry, even if you’re not geared up for cleaner energy production.
