Five Key Partnerships Accelerating the Future of Sustainable Aviation Fuels
Global air travel has steadily recovered post-pandemic and shows clear signs of accelerating growth. Annual passenger traffic is projected to reach 19.5 billion by 2042, more than double the levels recorded in 2024. Without decisive action, this surge in demand is expected to significantly increase aviation’s greenhouse gas emissions. Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) has […]
Five SAF startups to watch, according to our data
Aviation accounts for 2–3% of global COâ‚‚ emissions—a climate contribution estimated to be two to four times higher when accounting for their impact on the atmosphere. As a means to decarbonize the industry, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) has emerged as a promising solution. SAF is produced from feedstocks, hydrogen, or captured carbon as a […]
SAF Investment Trends
Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) have emerged as a critical solution to reduce the aviation sector’s growing carbon footprint. SAF could contribute up to 65% of the emissions reductions needed for aviation’s net-zero targets by 2050, leading to over 11 billion in funding flowing into 256 companies, according to our data. While most solutions are […]
The Pathways to Scaling SAF
Decarbonization has long been a priority for the aviation industry, but the journey to achieving net-zero has been far from linear. Since the first commercial flight took off with biofuels in 2008, the path towards sustainability has been full of obstacles. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) has the potential to cut lifecycle greenhouse emissions by […]
Sustainable Aviation Fuels: 5 Key Challenge Areas
Aviation is one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonise. The industry is responsible for 2–3% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, a share that is only expected to keep rising. Despite ambitious targets to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, the industry has faced significant challenges in reaching them. Finding sustainable alternatives to […]
Clean Transport Funding Activity Ramps up
Decarbonizing transport remains one of the most capital-intensive and complex challenges in the climate transition. As one of the largest contributors to emissions, the transport sector sits at the heart of the climate challenge. From EVs and charging networks to green fuels and smarter logistics, a wave of innovation is redefining how people and goods […]
The Innovations Pushing Transport Toward Net-Zero
The global transport infrastructure is deeply intertwined with the fossil fuel industry. Transportation contributes 15% of global emissions, making it the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases. To achieve transport decarbonization, the sector must wean itself off fossil fuels which still powers most vehicles worldwide. There are promising signs of progress.. The electrification of road […]
Europe’s Hottest Circular Economy Companies in 2024
2024 could be the highest funded yet for circular economy companies. H1 broke a record in circular economy funding peaking at €8.4B, largely driven by Northvolt’s and Verkor’s giga-rounds. In a recent report developed with Ecoembers and The Circular Lab, we checked the temperature of circular startup funding in Europe in H1 2024. These were […]
The Hydrogen Value Chain
In the ever-evolving landscape of climate technology, hydrogen stands out on the cusp of massive scale and impact. From transportation to manufacturing, hydrogen technologies hold the promise of decarbonizing sectors traditionally reliant on fossil fuels, paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future. In this era of rapid technological advancement, the emergence of […]
