e-SAF: fuel of the future or passing turbulence?

Zenon continues its exploration of the energy and environmental challenges facing the aviation sector. After examining solutions for decarbonizing this sector in general, Zenon is now focusing on sustainable aviation fuels (e-SAF).

For this new Dialogue, Elsie Nakhle, an analyst at Zenon, Robin Girard, Director of Research at Mines Paris - PSL, Jérémie Bertrand, Executive Director of Offtake & Inputs at Elyse Energy, Kevin Guittet, Deputy Director of Sustainable Development at the DGAC, will analyze the practical challenges related to the development and deployment of sustainable aviation fuels, questioning their technical and economic viability. The discussion will cover the feasibility and innovations in e-SAF production, as well as the logistical challenges and costs associated with integrating these fuels into existing infrastructure. A regulatory and policy perspective will further enrich the discussion, particularly regarding e-SAF blending mandates in Europe and beyond.
