Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for Strategy, Markets & Execution – Turning Aviation Decarbonisation into Commercial Reality

After completing this program, participants will be able to:

• Understand the full SAF value chain from feedstocks and production pathways to certification, delivery, and environmental attribute monetisation.
• Evaluate SAF production and refinery integration options, including co-processing constraints, hydrogen balance, and margin trade-offs versus renewable diesel.
• Navigate certification, compliance, and sustainability integrity frameworks, including ASTM fuel approval, ISCC/RSB, CORSIA, and chain-of-custody models.
• Design robust SAF pricing, offtake, and forecasting strategies using cost-stack analysis, scenario modelling, and demand-side decision criteria.
• Assess SAF project bankability and scale-up pathways, incorporating policy risk, feedstock risk, MRV systems, and access to green and blended finance.

This course is designed for professionals who are directly involved in SAF strategy, development, production, certification, commercialisation, or financing, and who need a commercially realistic understanding of how SAF markets operate across regions.

The programme combines expert-led instruction with interactive discussions, real-world case examples, and practical frameworks. Participants work through comparative matrices, readiness checklists, risk registers, and decision trees to translate complex technical, regulatory, and commercial concepts into actionable insights. Knowledge checks and facilitated Q&A sessions are used throughout to reinforce learning and encourage peer exchange across different parts of the SAF value chain.

Your expert course leader is a recognised industry practitioner with more than two decades of international professional experience in France, UK, China, Switzerland and Singapore. He is now fully dedicated to aviation decarbonisation through renewable fuels and market-based financial mechanisms involving the entire SAF ecosystem.

His career began in corporate roles spanning technology, innovation, commercial strategy, and stakeholder engagement. Joining Air Transport Industry 15+ years ago, understanding the key challenge of Aviation Decarbonization, he moved toward Sustainable Aviation Fuel scaling, as key lever to accelerate Net-zero target. His experience directly informs discussions in this course on SAF refinery integration, co-processing trade-offs, and market realities.

He has worked closely with SAF ecosystem in ASIA, such as Airlines, oil companies, blenders, renewable fuel developers, and consulting firms in senior advisory and market-facing roles, supporting the development, financing and commercialisation of Sustainable Aviation Fuel projects. He contributes in various missions including pathway evaluation of HEFA, FT, AtJ, and emerging eSAF/PtL pathways, with a particular focus on feedstock strategy, scalability, lifecycle emissions performance, and policy exposure.

Part of his experience lies on the overall SAF value chain and compliance: refiners, producers, airlines on ASTM fuel approval processes, ISCC and RSB certification, CORSIA sustainability criteria, and chain-of-custody models—helping organisations avoid common pitfalls related to double counting, sustainability claims, and audit readiness.

On the commercial side, he has supported SAF pricing, offtake structuring, and Book-and-Claim models, working with airlines, aggregators, traders, and corporate buyers. He brings practical insight into why SAF negotiations fail, how premiums are formed, and how environmental attributes are monetised across different regulatory regimes (SAF certificates – Scope 1 -3).

He has also worked closely with investors and lenders on SAF project finance, including CAPEX assessment, IRR drivers, policy risk, and blended finance structures. His teaching style is pragmatic and discussion-driven, grounded in real project and market experience rather than theoretical models.
