In Jamaica, Jamaica Information Service reported that the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA) is facilitating national dialogue among key government ministries, policymakers, and industry stakeholders on SAF production to reduce emissions and build a modern transport system.
Director of Economic Regulation at the JCAA, Michael Hepburn, said that the Authority recently concluded a two-day workshop with stakeholders involved in feedstock supply, fuel production, and infrastructure development.
The workshop was led by ICF Consulting, which, in collaboration with the JCAA, has launched an SAF feasibility study aimed at positioning Jamaica to support the aviation industry’s transition to lower-carbon fuels and long-term climate resilience.
The study forms part of Jamaica’s commitment as a member state of the ICAO to achieve net-zero carbon emissions from international aviation by 2050, with an interim global target of achieving five per cent SAF use by 2030, according to the report.
