The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) has made history by becoming the first airport in the region to utilize Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for a departing flight. The fuel, produced from Minnesota-grown camelina by Montana Renewables, marks a significant step towards reducing the environmental impact of air travel.
The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) has made history with its first departure fueled by Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The fuel, produced by Montana Renewables, is made from Minnesota-grown winter camelina and represents a significant step towards decarbonizing air travel.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has announced the launch of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Matchmaker platform in early 2025. This innovative tool aims to streamline the connection between airlines and SAF suppliers, accelerating the adoption of sustainable fuels and contributing to the aviation industry’s goal of achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has released updated roadmaps outlining the path to achieving net-zero carbon emissions in aviation by 2050. These roadmaps highlight the need for urgent action from all stakeholders, including policymakers, to create a clear and supportive framework for sustainable aviation fuel development and implementation.

A new study by the Energy Futures Initiative Foundation (EFIF) reveals a roadmap for ethanol to achieve near net-zero carbon intensity by 2035 and negative carbon intensity by 2050. The report identifies nine cost-effective measures, including carbon capture, sustainable agriculture practices, and low-carbon energy use at biorefineries, that can significantly reduce ethanol’s carbon footprint. The research also explores the potential of low-carbon ethanol to contribute to Sustainable Aviation Fuel and address emissions in hard-to-abate sectors like aviation.
The Sustainable Aviation Futures North America Congress, taking place in Houston, Texas from October 2-4, 2024, will bring together over 600 leaders in the aviation decarbonization field. The event focuses on achieving net-zero aviation emissions and scaling Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production by 2050. Through panel discussions, technical sessions, and networking opportunities, attendees will collaborate and explore solutions for a sustainable future of air travel.
AirAsia and Airbus have announced a new partnership to advance sustainable aviation initiatives in Southeast Asia. The collaboration focuses on exploring decentralized Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production, improving air traffic management, and utilizing fuel-efficient aircraft to reduce carbon emissions.
