Workshop: The Economics of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs)
Copyright: AdobeStock_109367162
PtX Lab Lausitz, together with the German Aviation Research Society (GARS) and airliners.de, is hosting the international workshop “The Economics of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs)”.
As the aviation industry faces growing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint, Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) have emerged as a key pathway toward decarbonization. SAFs offer the potential to significantly lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional jet fuels, while maintaining compatibility with existing aircraft and infrastructure.
However, the large-scale deployment of SAFs is still constrained by economic challenges, including high production costs, limited scalability, market uncertainties, and the need for supportive policy frameworks.
The Workshop addresses these issues along the entire value chain – from production and logistics to market mechanisms and financing to regulatory incentives.
Current Status
The call for papers is now closed. We are currently in the process of finalising the programme content. A detailed agenda will be published in the coming weeks. However, you can already get an overview of the main topics and the participants involved.
Main Topics (Selection)
- Techno-economic assessments and cost drivers of various SAF pathways
- Economic effects of regulation, support instruments and quotas
- Market-based instruments and pricing mechanisms
- Supply chain economics and infrastructure requirements
- Book-and-claim approaches as a market ramp-up instrument
- Innovative financing and risk mitigation models
Preliminary Agenda and Participants
The two-day event „The Economics of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs)” will feature keynotes, scientific presentations, moderated discussions and networking formats. A special highlight is the accompanying programme, which includes an excursion to the CHESCO research laboratory.
The complete agenda with all presentation titles and time slots will be added shortly. The confirmed speakers and institutions will be published here as they are confirmed.
