Problem
The aviation industry faces increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint and transition to more sustainable practices. A significant hurdle is the limited availability and higher cost of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) compared to traditional jet fuel. This scarcity hinders airlines' ability to meet emissions targets and contribute to net-zero goals.
Solution
SAF One develops and operates sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production plants to provide the global aviation industry with pathway-agnostic SAF solutions. The company focuses on offering a competitive, end-to-end solution to meet the increasing demand for SAF by building and operating a portfolio of global infrastructure assets. SAF One leverages its shareholder's network of airlines, aircraft OEMs, financiers, and feedstock/technology providers to deliver synthetic paraffinic kerosene (SPK). The SPK is then sold to airlines and fuel suppliers for blending and certification into a finished SAF blend, enabling aircraft to fly using a certified SAF blend.
Target Audience
SAF One's primary customers include airlines, fuel suppliers/distributors, and other stakeholders in the aviation industry seeking to reduce their carbon emissions and transition to sustainable aviation fuels.
