Overview

There are a number of barriers to securing investment for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) projects and can include uncertainties around national policies and/or incentives, feedstock availability, differing technical production routes and price instability. The UK government is set to launch the second consultation of the SAF mandate but industry have indicated that additional mechanism will be required to commercialise SAF.

In this masterclass, we are joined by a selection of investors to help navigate the scale up and investment challenge and demystify, navigate and breakdown the investment journey.
