Study highlights economic potential of sustainable aviation fuel in Canada
In the UK, International Airport Review reported that a new study by Airbus and consultancy ICF has found that developing a domestic sustainable aviation fuel industry could become a major driver of economic growth in Canada while supporting the aviation sector’s long-term decarbonization ambitions.
Presented during the Farnborough International Airshow, the report examines the investment and policy support required for SAF to meet 40% of Canada’s aviation fuel demand by 2040. It concludes that expanding domestic production would strengthen energy security, reduce dependence on imported fuels and create significant economic opportunities, the report stated.
The company notes that Canada already possesses many of the assets needed to develop a competitive SAF industry, including abundant natural resources, an established aerospace sector and significant industrial expertise. However, it says long-term policy certainty and targeted incentives will be essential to encourage investment and scale production.
